Bizarre! Indian Railways' electric locomotive goes missing

[Delnavaz B]

New Delhi: The Indian Railways has launched a big hunt to trace an electric loco of the Tughlakabad shed that is reported missing since last month.
Reports said that engine number 23384 was supposed to reach its home shed – Tughlakabad near Delhi – on June 15 for scheduled repair. When the loco did not arrive, officials at the shed assumed that it may be on duty in some part of the country and will make its way back soon.
When that didn't happen by month end, a search was launched but the shed officials failed in the endeavour.
Soon, the matter was reported to the Railway Board and it in turn, sent out an order to all railway zones to direct the 60,000 strong force of loco pilots and assistant loco pilots to assist in the search.

Since then, the loco pilots have been on the lookout for the missing 120 tonne loco...

No surprise. I learned Israel have lost 5 of American made jet engines from its military facility.

Try finding it in China.. locomotive might be there. May be Chinese are reverse engineering advanced Indian locomotive? Who knows!

Lol. This is the first time I am hearing something like this.

Perhaps secretly sold to someone

 

[Panther421]

May be it was disassembled & parts were sold.
The people those are involved should be sent to jail

Before trolling, do understand that your country hasn't ever designed or manufactured an AC electric locomotive. Heck, you have only assembled diesel electric locomotives until now.

You folks don't even have a sizeable railway Industry, and that wouldn't stop you from mocking a country that manufactures & exports railway rolling stock.

Of course of course. You are certainly on point. Since India has made electrical diesel engines and now electronic engines, they are justified to loose one locomotive engine in the air. Totally with you on that and I respect your thoughtful angling.

Electrical diesel engines? Electronic engines ? WTF is that ?

Beta, do study the basics of railway operations, next time you troll .A locomotive can't simply vanish into thin air. It might be in some siding or trip shed, we don't know for sure for now.

 

[kaykay]

How many electric locomotives we have in total?

 

[AnnoyingOrange]

LOL

@anant_s well since you are the resident expert here may be you could throw some light as to how a loco might disappear. .

Just explain the basics of how your cell-engines disappear bary mian. You cannot shed Pakistan off your capable minds even when your own engines disappear from your own railway lines.
