Not in use anymore, though once it was the site of a rare fighter-on-train accident! It was one of a kind sort of crash. A jet figher ramming into a train.

All fighters stationed there should have had TCAS (train collision and avoidance) installed

Yes that was indeed one of its kind but the main hazard was when pilots were coming in to land, they had strict instructions to avoid touching down on the tracks after an F-6 burst its tyres so touch down was always either before or after the crossing patch.

It was the instructor pilot's fault that day.

Even triggered an F-6 to fire a Sidewinder when it went over it on the ground.

This happened in 80s to Sir Anwaar Hussain (I don’t know his rank at retirement, must be G/C or A/C). He has narrated the details quite nicely on his Facebook page.

He retired as a Wing Commander. Please next time ask for his permission before posting his content on a forum.

If the gent posted it on a public profile on FB I don't see the need for permission anymore. It's akin to asking an author permission when posting a link to an article

i dont see the purpose of the railway line now as the tracks on the sides seem to have been removed from the pic above.
