I think everyone browsing this site also has access to Google Maps.A kind request to all of them.Please go through GMap & glide through the stretch b/w Thanabihpur & Pasraha in East Central Rly.(Type Thanabihpur in GMap,follow the Rail Track & go towards west).You can notice at least in 4 places,that some spills of water/oil has come out of the ground & destroyed the old Rail Track,so a new track has to be made just curving out of the original.Isnt it interesting?I mean I've never seen this type of track alignment anywhere else in the country. Some members may emphasize more on what may have happened that caused the Rail Track to be shifted.All are requested to go through please.One clue that hints through my mind is the region falls under Kosi Flood Zone in Bihar,but the way the Old Tracks are damaged doesnt look like the aftershock of floods.
Just...
more... now 12423 GHY Rajdhani was passing through that region & had to slow down to 65 kmph in those stretches.
