Focusing on technology, the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation (DFCC) has undertaken trial of the End of Train Telemetry (EoTT) system in the 300 km Bhaupur-Khurja section to do away with guard vans at the rear end of the freight train.
EOTT, also known as the digital guard, would be installed in all freight trains expected to run on the exclusive goods corridor in the country.
The new device aims to discontinue guard vans and the practice of deploying guards at the rear-end of goods trains to ensure all wagons remain intact when the train is in motion.
