Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) said its Alipurduar Division has achieved a major milestone in mechanised track renewal by recording its highest-ever single-day output of 1,033 track metres using Plasser’s Quick Relaying System (PQRS).

NFR Chief Public Relations Officer Kapinjal Kishore Sharma said the achievement was recorded on December 23 and reflects the effective deployment of high-output mechanised track-laying technology, optimised traffic blocks and close coordination between the engineering and operating departments.

As part of the ongoing track renewal programme, Northeast Frontier Railway has undertaken a total of 290.8 km of track renewal across its network. Division-wise progress includes 51.33 km in Katihar Division, 29.77 km in Alipurduar Division in West Bengal, 75.19 km in Rangiya Division, 44.98 km in Lumding Division and 69.96 km in Tinsukia Division, highlighting a systematic approach to infrastructure upgradation across the zone.

Plasser’s Quick Relaying System consists of compact, self-propelled cranes that enable rapid track renewal while significantly reducing maintenance costs. The system is widely used for new track construction as well as for modernising existing track infrastructure.

NFR said the successful execution of high-output track renewal operations underscores its continued focus on modern maintenance practices, asset reliability and operational efficiency.

Headquartered at Maligaon in Guwahati, Northeast Frontier Railway operates across the north-eastern states, along with seven districts of West Bengal and five districts of north Bihar.
