HYDERABAD, June 28: South Central Railway
(SCR) Friday said it has entered into an agreement with
Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) on the engine on
load (EOL) scheme wherein the train engine would remain
available with the rake during loading operations.
According to a press release from the SCR, the
EOL scheme would enable granting of clearance to the train to
move immediately after loading operations is completed.
The SCR would implement the scheme from July 1 at
five of SCCL sidings – two at Ramagundam, one each at
Asifabad, Kothagudem and Manuguru from where about one lakh
tonnes of coal per day were being moved, the release said.
The EoL would reduce wagon detention, improve
wagon turnaround, facilitate optimum utilisation of rolling
stock and enhance freight-loading, it said.
