Vande Bharat races across world’s highest Chenab & first cable-stayed Anji bridges at 100 kmph as Katra-Banihal speed limit rises from 75 to 100 kmph

A Vande Bharat Express crossed the world’s highest railway bridge over the Chenab River and India’s first cable-stayed railway bridge at Anji at 100 kmph, as Railways raised the maximum permissible speed on the 111-km Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra-Banihal section from 75 kmph to 100 kmph.

The speed enhancement was successfully tested on Thursday on the Jammu division of Northern Railway. The development marks another operational milestone for the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project, which is aimed at improving rail connectivity between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of the country.
