Central Railway has successfully executed the operation of erecting a 57- meter-long special portal boom and dismantling old anchors during the Special Traffic and Power Blocks in the intervening night of July 20/21, 2024, at Carnac Bunder.
The new portal, measuring 57 meters in length and covering 10 tracks, is one of the longest ever launched by Central Railway. This new portal was launched utilizing a 1000 MT airdrop road crane.
