from the railway line during the speed trial and inspection. Also, extra caution should be taken while crossing level crossings, and people should only cross the railway line after confirming the train's absence. The railway administration will not be responsible for any accidents due to negligence. Karauta-Patner station is located on the Kiul-Gaya railway line, while Ashok Dham station is on the Patna-Jhajha main line. Currently, trains coming from the Gaya-Kiul section, if they need to go to Patna, have to go to Kiul first, where the engine is reversed before proceeding to Patna. Once this surface triangle is operational, trains coming from Gaya towards Patna will directly travel from Karauta-Patner to Ashok Dham without going to Kiul. This will eliminate the need for engine reversal, leading to improved operational efficiency and punctuality.
