Vande Bharat Crosses Chenab, Anji Bridges at 100 km/h

A Vande Bharat train travelled across two very large railway bridges in the Jammu and Kashmir region.

It crossed the Chenab and Anji bridges at 100 kilometres per hour.

The train used the Katra-Banihal part of a railway route connecting the Kashmir Valley with the rest of India.

Railway officials approved this faster speed in August after safety checks.

Earlier, officials said that no train had actually travelled at 100 kilometres per hour over the bridges.

A video shared on October 2 showed the first such run described in the report.

The faster speed may help passengers reach their destinations sooner.

The route includes many tunnels and bridges because it passes through mountainous terrain.

The run was presented as another step in improving rail travel in the region.
