A very interesting board. Sorry for those who cannot read hindi. Does it mean not to drive with harsh acceleration or braking as it may result in uncoupling. The board lies just at the too much busy Dilkusha cabin in Lucknow. Unfortunately I was on a train at that time. Whatever it means will be solved in a day or two when I will visit this spot again.

Samar, that board has been standing there, as far as I can remember, since 1988. Also, there is a rising gradient from Dilkusha cabin (SPL 213) towards the overhead bridge near Gulistan Colony. I have seen more than a few times, freight trains stalling on this section due to locomotive being unable to pull the rake over the gradient.

An official from LKO DRM office has given the same reason has Rajeev has mentioned. However, as per him some more research is going on this to know the clear-cut or exact reason. For the time being the bosses have put this board as a precautionary measure.

Frequent stoppages occur in the approach of LKO station. As these lines are busy, goods trains have to restart often on very short notice after stopping. This results in partial release of brakes and hence more resistance to forward movement. The resulting 'jerk' does occasionally cause train parting, which was more frequent here and the Bosses decided to warn the drivers about it.
