Hyderabad: The third Oxygen Express started from Sanathnagar New Goods Complex, here on Sunday.

The Oxygen Express containing five tankers has left for MBMB siding Angul in Odisha, where the empty tankers will be filled with Liquid Medical Oxygen.

As part of the initiative, South Central Railways had earlier moved two empty Oxygen Expresses to Angul. The SCR zone had identified the station capable of handling the Oxygen Express in the twin cities area and on receipt of the request from the State government, the originating station as well the Green Corridor to move the Oxygen Express was mapped till the destination station.

The Green Corridor is mapped so as to ensure faster movement of these tankers. As height is one of the important aspects of moving the tankers by trains, the corridor is mapped taking into consideration various constraints like curves, Road over Bridges, platform canopies, Over Head Equipment etc., along the route. Further, considering its importance, the movement of these trains is being monitored continuously at the apex level.

Gajanan Mallya, General Manager, SCR advised the officials to continue taking proactive steps in case of any request for further Oxygen Express movement over the zone. He also instructed all the divisions to give utmost priority to run these trains and continuously monitor the movement of Oxygen Express over the zone.
