Central Railway Hill Gang Removes Massive Loose Boulder In Thull Ghat, Averts Threat To Train Operations

Central Railway's hill gang removed a 3.9-metre loose boulder in Thull Ghat between Kasara and Igatpuri.

The boulder was hanging about 15 metres above the track and posed a risk to trains.

Removal was done during a scheduled traffic and power block using specialized equipment.

The boulder was broken and cleared with a Poclain breaker on the Boulder Special Train.

Regular inspections after heavy rain help prevent landslides and loose rocks in the ghat sections.
