Yes, it is to accommodate the doubling of CGL - VM line (conversion of existing MG line)

Nice array of colours - Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Brown. Is it the monsoon magic?

If I am not wrong,both the old bridge as well as the new one have a mps of 60 kmph,though the new bridge is built for higher speed.

Thanks guys!! It was unusual on that day because normally the traffic Jam is never so extensive. This lasted for well over 15 hours. This happened because some wires had broken off on the DLI-GZB track and the trains from that station were also re-routed through NDLS.

All the time the trains were moving on red signal. The LP's were on the intercom with Sahibabad. I am not sure till what point they can do it - but on that day, the trains moved like this till Ghaziabad.

@ Karthik..

Railway track is a flexible (floating) structure not like a building which is attached rigidly to the ground. So in a track the stresses developing due to expansion/contraction are absorbed by sleepers (rather a set of sleepers) themselves and transferred to subgrade below. Its because of this feature only that LWRs and CWRs has been made possible..
