Trials will be in 3 stages and a total of around 4000 kms run should be made. These will be completed in about 2 months. If no glitches are found for correction, these trains should go into regular service by March next year on commercial run.

My 5 year old daughter is delighted to see this picture. this is classic railway image even my generation grew up watching in story books. Nostalgia although i wish those modern buildings in background were somehow not in the image.

Pretty as a postcard. What a scenery :smitten:

I hope this model is successful and is taken up for mass production. Given SAARC countries are using Broad gauge tracks (1 676 mm), this trainset in a Diesel Electric version has good export potential to neighboring countries at a fraction of cost of true HSTs and given its great features, it...

Óh well no comparison at all. Chinese Bullet or other HST like TGVs are in altogether different league. Best i can say is that this is first genuine attempt to increase speed on existing tracks without radical change in infra-structure. That said new dedicated HST lines are in plan for...

Very True! In such cases and tragedies, sympathy is always with victims but we must remember that in railways, loco drivers have only two choices either to stop or keep moving. They can't move their train sideways like a car driver. As per the reports released by Indian Railways, the train was...

Not yet, it is slated to arrive in 2020-21. That train is slightly longer with different class of accommodation (Sleeper) than Train 18 which has all seating accommodation.

In my memory of following Diesel locos around the globe, i suppose this loco is first example of a double section loco in operation. Quite rare if not unique (Soviets did use double section diesels back in 70s). Wow! That's Grand. Almost looks like a Palace! Its extremely unfortunate and...

It is always extremely satisfying to see such gathering of locos! Thanks for an early Christmas present Andrew! I suppose that is SS9G (the red loco) What loco is that Andrew? I'm not sure if that is a Diesel Electric or an electric loco running on Third power contact rail (there is a central...

Didn't i tell this about him to you? He is an enigma and as you pointed a shrewd businessman to the core. As in life you can become successful by being selective in choosing partners but all great statesman made friends and allies. Thanks to Trumpism, US will soon find that it will loose allies...

True! Problem of running freight and Semi/HST on same tracks are twofold: 1. Freight locomotive make use of their heavier weight to generate additional traction effort at cost of speed. Hence as a general rule, freight locomotives have higher weight spread over larger number of powered axles at...

Breath taking views! :smitten::smitten::smitten::smitten::smitten: This is my kind of photography and my kind of trains i love to watch. Thanks for the visual treat @AndrewJin @Abingdonboy @gslv mk3 @Nilgiri Gentlemen you can see in above images use of what we refer to as MUed (Multiple Unit)...

Quarterly growth is different from yearly growth. As @Nilgiri has pointed, 7.3% projection is over last years economic activity or GDP numbers. so to have a value of 7.3% over last year you have to take into account last FY numbers. Also quarterly numbers are compared to preceding quarter...

Unfortunately thats how energy market for importers has become. Not only India but all countries relying on imported energy are sparing no efforts to secure reliable and economic energy sources. hopefully our dependence on imported hydro-carbon (especially in transportation sector) will come...

Its a win win situation for both nations. Russia knows quite well that India has reasonable and independent foreign policy and in a world where we are witnessing very fast changes, India is one nation that can be relied upon. We have a stable economy and given a very long friendly relationship...
