Dedicated Freight Corridor: Caving Work On World’s First Rail Tunnel For Double-Stack Electric Freight Train Through Aravallis Completed
Executing freight works on a fast track mode despite the pandemic, the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation has completed the caving work for the world's first electrified rail tunnel meant for running double stack containers through Aravallis.
An engineering marvel, the D-shaped one-km-long tunnel near Sohna is part of the Rewari-Dadri section of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor which connects Mewat and Gurugram in Haryana and negotiates a steep gradient on the uphill and downhill slope of the Aravalli range.
