For the first time since its introduction in 1853, Indian Railways T have achieved the feat of zero passenger fatality due to train accidents during the year. The tremendous achievement has been made possible through a slew of measures taken by Railways like record amount of track renewals, elimination of Level Crossings and construction of ROBs/RUBs, interlocking of signals, etc. The eventful year has also seen huge infrastructural boost including completion of New Line (360 Km), Doubling (1458 Km), Gauge Conversion ( 408 Km) and Electrification (5782 RKms) projects which are in addition to completion of a total of 500 RKm of Dedicated Freight Corridor on which more than 1300 freight trains have already run till 31st March 2020. Every year, usually in the month of April, we publish the Special Annual issue of the magazine. However, this year, due to the abnormal situation prevailing in the country since March 2020, we have been forced to postpone the issue. Now, with normalcy gradually being restored, it is our great pleasure that we are now able to bring out the much-awaited Special Annual issue of the magazine.
