Why is the sea level written on the railway station: Most of the people in India travel by train, as the Indian Railways is the fourth largest railway network in the world. But while traveling by train, some such things are seen, in which there is much important information from the railway station to the train. Even though people don’t really understand themselves or connect with themselves, those things are still very important. Today we are going to know about such a thing that you must have seen, but probably did not understand.
Why is the altitude above sea level written on the station?
Whenever we go for a walk or a long journey, first of all, we reach the railway station, but you must have seen the sign or something written at different places on the railway station. The name of the place is written on the big yellow board present at the station, but not only the name of the station but also the height above sea levels such as 400 m, 310 m, or 150 m should be written on the board. We never wonder why the height above sea level is written at the end. What does it mean? Is it written for the information of the passenger or is there some other reason behind it?
The railway station name also mentions the height of the sea level from that station on the lower part of the board; e.g. MSL 214-42 m. This number is different at different railway stations. Do you know the meaning of this MSL, if not then let us tell?
Nothing to do with passengers
The height above sea level is written on the board of almost all the railway stations in the country. If seen, the common passenger has nothing to do with it, but this sign is very important for the driver and guard of any train. Because it is a sign related to the safety of all the passengers passing through that station. Although railway pilots know their work very well, there are some protocols that are being followed from the very beginning.
It is essential for a train driver
In such a situation, you should also know what is the meaning of this MSL (Mean Sea Level), and why it is important to write it. Actually, the height above sea level at any railway station is said to help the driver and guard of the train. So that the driver of the train can know that if we are moving towards the height of the train, then we have to keep the speed of the train.
What should be the speed of the train by the driver?
At the same time, how much power will have to be given to the engine of the car? So that he can easily rise to the height. Similarly, if the train is going below sea level then the speed of the train has to be maintained by the driver. At the same time, if the next train goes down, at what speed should the train proceed? To know all this, the height of sea level (MSL) is written.
