Are there trains that bifurcate or are re-formed en route?

July 1, 2019, 11:41 AM

There are several trains which split/amalgamate at a junction, Example: the 6635 Dn Netravati Exp from Kurla (Mumbai) used to work as one train upto Shoranur Jn in Kerala, thereafter one half of the train went as 6635A to Mangalore and the rest went as 6635B to Cochin. This trains now runs through Konkan Railways and hence does not spilt up at Shoranur.

For another example, the Alleppey to Bokaro/Tatanagar Exp. halts at Raurkela and splits into two trains, one going to Bokaro and the other to Tatanagar. The train to Bokaro also has a slip coach (sectional carriage) attached to it from the Kurla-Howrah Exp. As yet another example, 5014 Ranikhet Exp. from Kathgodam and the 5014A Jim Corbett Park Exp. from Ramnagar combine at Moradabad Jn. and proceed to Delhi.

(Alphabetic suffixes – ‘A’, ‘B’ – are commonly used in addition to the 4-digit train numbers in such cases, as seen in the example above (6635A, 6635B).)

In general, however, IR does not use the concept of sectional carriages and re-forming consists as intensively as European railways do, where, of a dozen coaches in a train leaving from one station, each one might end up going to a different destination (possibly in different countries!).
