<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>At Puri, two additional full-length integrated pit lines are under construction and the upcoming lines will supplement the existing six pit lines. The entire coaching maintenance facility will be shifted to a second coaching terminal depot on the sanctioned Puri-Konark new line, for which a final location survey has been proposed. A large-scale coaching complex is also planned on this new line to cater to future traffic growth, particularly during peak pilgrimage and tourist seasons, railway sources said.<br />
<br />
The Bhubaneswar New Station is being developed as a satellite coaching terminal. It will be supported by a maintenance facility comprising two pit lines at Mancheswar with dedicated rail connectivity. Similarly, a detailed project report (DPR) for extensive yard modification at Visakhapatnam is under consideration by the Railway Board. The proposal includes five additional lines, six new passenger platforms, 10 stabling lines and the introduction of electronic interlocking to enhance safety and operational flexibility.</blockquote>
