The stretch between Azara to Mirza is of 11.35 km. Speed trial at about 115 km per hour was done by the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS)/NF circle. Modern technologies like, robust track structure with use of all wide base Pre-stressed Concrete (PSC) sleepers & Thick Web Switches which is new design of sturdier switches o­n pre-stressed concrete sleepers and can handle higher speeds were used for this double line territory.

It is to be mentioned here that with the laying of double line, movement of trains can be done in both directions without stop-over crossings at stations which will increase the punctuality of trains. More trains can be run with enhanced speed.

      Earlier 29.71 km section between Dudhnai to Dhupdhara was commissioned o­n 24^th November, 2022. o­n completion of this entire section of New Bongaigaon – Kamakhya via Goalpara, the northeast connectivity will be boosted significantly.
