currently pf 3 which used to be meter guage pf is being converted to BG. this is supposed to be completed by March 17. post that 2 more PFs are going to be made. so in all SHC is going to have 5 PFs, hopefully by march 18 the targeted time for opening of Kosi bridge. and yes agree if Kosi mega bridge is to be fully utilized, DBG needs more PFs with provision to somehow avoid loco reversal for trains coming from SKI side and going towards NKE. Lets see what rly does. going by ECR and SPJ div track record, i dont expect this alternate GKP-NE route to be fully operational before 2025
