Let’s explore the classification of railway stations in the Indian Railways:
Block Stations:
- A Class: These stations are on double-line sections and allow line clearance only when the receiving line is clear and points are set.
- B Class: Similar to A Class but with modified criteria for higher passenger traffic.
- C Class: Includes suburban stations, prioritizing them for better amenities.
Non-Block Stations:
- D Class (Flag Stations): Basic stops without block signaling.
These classifications ensure efficient rail operations and passenger safety.
