Development Authority moves to pursue rail‑spur grant for Romney Industrial Park; large local match likely The county’s Development Authority authorized preliminary work on a Christie rail‑infrastructure grant to build a rail spur into Romney Industrial Park. An engineering estimate put full buildout near $19.5 million; a 20% match could mean a $3–$3.5 million local share, and the authority committed small seed funding to secure a concept design.

Hampshire County is gearing up to secure a $19.5 million grant for a new rail spur that could transform the Romney Industrial Park and boost local investment!

India Successfully Tests Indigenous ‘Kavach’ Train Safety System at 160 km/h Indian Railways has successfully tested its home-grown Kavach automatic train protection system at a high speed of 160 km/h, marking a major milestone in rail safety. During the trial run, the system effectively controlled train speed and activated automatic braking when required. The test was conducted on a Vande Bharat train along the North Central Railway route. Kavach is designed to prevent collisions, overspeeding, and signal violations, even in poor visibility conditions. This achievement strengthens India’s push for safer, faster, and self-reliant railway operations under Make in India.
