HYDERABAD: Oxygen Express, loaded with five tankers, has commenced its journey from Angul, Odisha, to Secunderabad.
The five empty tankers were sent from Secunderabad (Secunderabad Cantonment Military Siding) on April 28. These tankers, after getting filled with liquid oxygen, have commenced their return journey to Secunderabad along with the Oxygen Express carrying 124.26 MT of oxygen.
The South Central Railway (SCR) said liquid oxygen, being transported in these tanks, is a cryogenic cargo and has many limitations like the maximum speed at which it could be carried, maximum acceleration & deceleration and loading restrictions.
SCR general manager Gajanan Mallya said, “Any request received on this front will be immediately processed so as to operate the trains at the earliest,” He advised all officers and staff to maintain continuous monitoring of the movement of this train along the green corridor.
