Central Railway Restores Second Ghat Line
Deccan Queen and Intercity services resume July 16. Trains to run with speed limits.

Central Railway has successfully restored the second railway line in the Karjat-Lonavala ghat section, paving the way for the resumption of Deccan Queen and Intercity Express services from July 16.
The restoration of the second line comes after the first line was reopened on July 7, following landslides that caused significant damage to the tracks.
The landslides had disrupted train services, including the Deccan Queen and Intercity Express, which are popular among commuters traveling between Mumbai and Pune.
With the second line now operational, Central Railway is set to resume these services, bringing relief to thousands of passengers who rely on these trains for their daily commute.
However, restoration work on the third line is still ongoing, and trains will continue to adhere to speed limits on the operational tracks as a precautionary measure.
The Karjat-Lonavala ghat section is a critical part of the railway network, connecting Mumbai to Pune and other parts of the country.
The section is prone to landslides during the monsoon season, which can cause significant damage to the tracks and disrupt train services.
Central Railway has been working to restore the damaged tracks and ensure the safe operation of trains in the region.
The resumption of Deccan Queen and Intercity Express services from July 16 is expected to bring relief to commuters and help restore normalcy to the railway network.
The move is also expected to boost economic activity in the region, as the railway network plays a critical role in facilitating the movement of goods and people.
In the meantime, passengers are advised to check with Central Railway for the latest updates on train schedules and services before planning their journey.
The restoration of the second line in the Karjat-Lonavala ghat section is a significant development, and Central Railway is working to ensure that train services are restored to normal as soon as possible.
This development is crucial for Mumbai and Pune commuters who rely heavily on the railway network for their daily travel needs.
The resumption of these train services will have a positive impact on the daily lives of thousands of people, and Central Railway's efforts to restore the damaged tracks are commendable.
