'Made in India' trains to chug in Pakistan, Bangladesh

I don't know..but your countrymen here are not much satisfied with Indian locos.

if they are not satisfied you should instal some comfort seats for them simple

 

[miss]

have u ever travelled in narrow gauge?

i have .. in ooty..

if they are not satisfied you should instal some comfort seats for them simple

i think have some automatic hilsa dispenser or something

Well then you have to buy compartments also. It will be a package deal. Better you should hand over the the whole PR to IR for operation.IR may not be the best railway in the world, but its miles ahead of PR.

Anyways for people doubting the quality of Indian locmotives here's something from Sri Lanka.

M9--Alstom (France). 1800hp. Imported to Sri Lanka in 2000. This locomotive faced various problems (electrical/mechanical) initially, now somewhat slowly adapting to the local environment. In operation.

10 Locomotives were imported to Sri Lanka. Currently only 3 locomotives are in running condition.

M8(a)--WDM2 (Varanasi India). 2600hp. First batch Imported in 1996. Second batch classified as M8A Slightly shorter in length than the first batch. All 10 still in operation.

india's fastest train can run at 185-190 km/h but usually run at 150km/h.....(bhopal to new delhi shatabdi express) now, the new indeginous fastest train in india is going to be unvieled soon(BHIM) which can run at 210km/h..

Some BD people here are talking about buying very expensive German locomotives on the ground that these can pull trains at a faster speed such as 200km/h (?). It is like asking a helipad to work as a runway for jets. Thing is BD rly lines are not compatible to high speed trains.

It is same like Corolla Sedan being fitted with a Benz engine. They are certainly not compatible with each other. Please note the following to understand why there cannot be high speed trains in BD:

1) The thickness of ballast/stone layers under the sleepers and lines is insufficient. The minimum thickness shall be 50cm with about 4inch size broken stones.

2) In many cases only highly burnt broken bricks are used instead of ballast/stones. This practice should be stopped.

3) Sleepers are still wooden. No reinforced concrete or steel sleepers are in use. Wooden sleepers must be replaced with R.C. concrete and steel ones fitted very strongly with the lines above.

4) The trains are not run by electricity, but by diesel and sometimes by coal (?). Diesel cannot pull speeedily, but electricity can.

5) A highspeed train that is supposed to run at a certain speed requires a cetain weight per meter. BD rly. lines are all light weight which were designed for low speed trains. So, these must also be replaced with heavy ones.

So, pending the overhauling works BD cannot buy and run faster German electric trains on the present railway lines. BD has to cut its cloth according to its size. Indian locomotives will just suit our lines. Some people are arguing these bad quality locomotives will need repair.

I think, it is also a good omen. Why not BD Rly. engineers pull over their shirt sleeves and work with the repairing by themselves? It will give them an opportunity to know how these are built. You see, we are Babu people. It is a shame for us to dirt our Babu hands. The result is now a dependence upon other countries.

Wo bolte hain na ghar ki murgi daal barabar.

These people think if you buy something from France or America or Korea, it will be the best. Fact is Indian locomotives are just as good, more reliable and cost half the price.

Oye, bada shyana bana raha hai....aise thode hi testing ke liye de denge, pehle kuch agreement ho ki tum hamare engine ko kholke usko reverse engineer nahin karoge.......Waise railway engineer ki tni kami hai tumhare yahan, humein tension lene ki jaroorat nahin

I don't think pakistan has the capacity of doing reverse engineering....it is 100 % safe untill and unless transferred to chinese.

Otty line will be the only metre gauge line that would be left in India very soon.

Thats damn cheap.

1500 Indian rupee or Pakistan rupee

What about Darjeeling trains? What gauge are they using.

1500 Indian rupee or Pakistan rupee

Indian ofcourse.

If it can work in India, it will work in Pakistan..it not as if weather changes dramatically b/n Amritsar & Lahore.

whether indian locos are famous or not, but it is quite a fact that indian steel rails manufactured by SAIL and TATA are one of the top class in the world and they are one of the highest exporters in the world....A new type of strongest amalgated zinc alloy was developed by IITians for high speed rails quite a few years ago which is entirely expoted to europe as india doesn't have any HSRs at present!!!
