Most probably they will be used for cargo trains for CPEC!

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

We should be starting to update our Railway Tracks , and retiring old Locomotives and moving to easily available newer models used world wide we might even find lots of Used supply

a) Newer engines
b) Newer tech
c) Steel production / usage will create jobs in Steeles mills etc

This standard should only be retained if we make the loco at home 100-300 Loco per year for example.

What happened to Chinese locomotives ?

They are in service, being used for passenger trains maybe some for light cargo, but they are not heavy duty!

GE is in its own league, plus they had EMD version also.

EMD is electro-motive division of General motors, nothing to do with GE(General Electric)

We need to upgrade the infrastructure as whole

The stuff we are getting is a bit out dated
but only becasue our infrastructure is out dated
