** Cumulative liquid medical oxygen (LMO) carried by Indian railways to reach almost 640 MT in next 24 hrs. 

** Uttar Pradesh receives its 5th Oxygen express carrying more than 76 MT LMO, 6th on its way

** Oxygen Express Operations of Indian Railways continue to bring relief to the States

Oxygen Express operations of Indian Railways continued to bring relief to the states as its operations expanded to Haryana and Telangana after Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi. 

Continuing the momentum, there are three more trains on the run either carrying Liquid Oxygen or on the way to the loading plants. It is expected that cumulative liquid medical oxygen (LMO) carried by Indian railways will reach almost 640 MT in next 24 hours. 

Uttar Pradesh received its Oxygen express number 5 carrying 76.29 MT of liquid medical oxygen (LMO) on April 29 in 5 tankers. One tanker was offloaded in Varanasi while remaining 4 tankers are offloaded in Lucknow. Train number 6 is already on its way to Lucknow and is expected to arrive on April 30 carrying 33.18 MT LMO in four tankers. Another empty rake is expected to leave Lucknow on April 29 for bringing next set of oxygen tankers. 

Haryana will receive its first Oxygen express as a train with two tankers is expected to leave Angul (Odisha) on April 29. Empty rake from Faridabad to Rourkela is also on its way and is expected to reach on Thursday night. Continuous stream of Oxygen trains to Haryana will ensure oxygen replenishment to the Covid-19 patients in the state.

Telangana government has also requested Indian Railways for Oxygen express. An empty rake is on its way from Secunderabad to Angul with five empty tankers and is expected to reach Angul on April 30. 

Railways is in full preparedness for providing oxygen transportation services to all the states in need. In the ongoing operation, states provide tankers to the Railways, which then proceeds in fastest feasible mode to bring the Oxygen supplies from the locations and delivers it the requisitioning state. The state government does deployment and use of this Oxygen.   

Liquid Oxygen being a cryogenic cargo has many limitations like maximum speed at which it can be carried, maximum acceleration & deceleration and loading restrictions like availability of liquid oxygen tankers and loading ramps. Route mapping also takes care of the maximum clearances available along the route (because of various RUBs and FOBs).

With the last new moon on April 11, the moon will appear half-lit in the evening sky on April 17 as it follows the sun towards the western horizon. If you observe around 5pm, you will notice a small tiny shining dot very close to the Moon. This is Mars, the red planet. Within a few minutes, the red planet will disappear all of a sudden and appear nowhere in the sky. This is the Lunar occultation of Mars which will be visible for the people of India only.  The moon moves across the sky each night. Being close to the earth, it covers half a degree width in the sky. On this path, there are rare occasions when the moon passes in front of a star and cause occultation which is like a total solar eclipse when the moon covers the object completely and the object disappears for 1-1/2-hours as the moon makes its way across the sky. We see stars appearing to pass behind the moon, disappearing on one and reappearing on the other.  All planets in our solar system move around the Sun in alm...
