Before a train departs from its origin, Indian Railways follows a detailed checklist to ensure safety and punctuality. The process begins with the loco pilot and crew performing a thorough inspection of the locomotive and coaches.
This includes checking brakes, engines, and communication systems. Station staff verify passenger lists, ensuring all reservations are accurate. The train’s signal and track clearance are then confirmed by the control room.
Finally, the station master gives the green light for departure, ensuring everything is in order. This meticulous procedure guarantees a smooth and safe journey from the very start.
