The record
Written by software from the 1 report below. The points restate them; where one says why it matters, that is Prism's reading, not a reported fact.
- The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor will utilize swing-nose crossings instead of traditional fixed ones to facilitate track changes at speeds up to 320 kmph.
- This technology eliminates gaps in the rail surface to reduce vibration and wear.
- A dual point-machine system ensures that both the switch rails and the crossing are correctly positioned and locked before a train is authorized to pass.
- These safety features are intended to improve ride comfort and operational reliability for passengers.
What to watch next
- Commencement of operations on the priority section of the corridor next year
- Performance of the movable-crossing technology under Indian climate conditions

This technology is a fundamental requirement for safe, reliable operation at design speeds of up to 320 km/h and represents a decisive departure from fixed-crossing turnouts used on conventional railway lines”
