Your Indian Railways trip to get faster; this is what will add wings to train
Electronic Interlockings with centralized operation of points and signals are being provided to eliminate human failure and to replace old mechanical systems.

Indian Railways has been revamping its infrastructure and that has virtually added wings to the trains that you travel on. No, we are not merely talking about Train 18, the fastest train in India. From makeover of stations to electrification to the commissioning of new lines, the Indian Railways is rolling out passenger friendly features to gain passengers' confidence. While many development projects are taking place in the Indian Railways to ensure the trip taken is shortened, one of the bigger ones is the Electronic Interlocking system. This is such a big deal that the Indian Railways is shunning the existing manual system to adopt the Electronic Interlocking system.

Recently, Western Railway has successfully implemented the new Electronic Interlocking (EI) system at Prabhadevi station and has decided to install it on its entire suburban line. The existing signaling systems will be upgraded to electric signaling system thus providing faster train operations.

What is Electronic Interlocking system?

Electronic Interlocking system is an amazing signalling system. Railway signalling has come a long way from un-interlocked, mechanical and electro-mechanical interlocking. It is a modern, microprocessor based interlocking equipment to read the yard and panel inputs; process them in a fail-safe manner as per selection table and generate required output. This system is an alternative to the conventional Relay Interlocking system. This EI system, also one of the largest in the World, replaces the old Route Relay Interlocking system

Electronic Interlocking system benefits

Electronic Interlocking system has several advantages over Electro-Mechanical or Conventional Panel Interlocking, such as reduced space requirements, fail-safe mechanism, self-diagnostic features, safety and reliability etc. It also supports faster train operations. This EI system, also one of the largest in the World, replaces the old Route Relay Interlocking system.
