Why is Mean Sea Level written on Railway Station🚉

www.fithumarabharat.com

Indian Railways has a vast network that connects some of the remotest regions of the country

www.fithumarabharat.com

But all the station name hoardings on the platforms have mean sea level (MSL) written underneath

www.fithumarabharat.com

What is the reason for mentioning such an information? Let's take a look

www.fithumarabharat.com

The MSL number is mentioned on the hoardings for the safety of the passengers travelling in a train

www.fithumarabharat.com

It alerts the loco pilots and the guards about the altitude they are travelling at

www.fithumarabharat.com

With the help of the MSL, a loco pilot controls the speed of the train

www.fithumarabharat.com

If the train is moving towards a higher altitude, the loco pilots ensure that the engine receives more power

www.fithumarabharat.com

Second, the MSL helped in building stations and lay tracks in a way that could avoid flooding and high tides

www.fithumarabharat.com

The mean sea level is a reference level from which vertical elevation is measured
