Tambaram Railway Station, located near Chennai, surprises passengers with a rare phenomenon. As a train enters, the lights turn off momentarily. Passengers often wonder why this happens, but the answer lies in the station’s technical design.
What Causes the Lights to Go Off at Tambaram?
The brief outage occurs when a train shifts between power zones, known as a “neutral section.” A neutral section has no current flowing in it, which causes the interruption when the train moves from one zone to another. Express trains stay unaffected due to a different power supply system.
