HERE IN RUSSIA, A FREIGHT CORRIDOR IS BEING PLANNED FOR WHICH 15000 HP LOCOMOTIVES WILL BE DEVELOPED WITH INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

THE FREIGHT TRAINS WOULD BE TRIPLE STACKED AND UPTO 3 KMS IN LENGTH
THE HEIGHT OF PANTOGRAPH WOULD ALSO BE SUITABLEY RAISED

Rail I think is better for Russia because it is so big and east-west distance so long. Minerals and gas in the east.

I HEARD THAT PAK WOULD BE BUYING 150 ENGINES, WHICH ONES THEY WOULD BE ??

Hope railways will improve after Mamata's departure.

I like the old steam locomotives... the sights, sounds, and smells of them are unique.

There are some die-hard hobbyists who create miniature steam locomotives in their hobby machine shops. These are true labors of love, and are perfect in every detail. Of course, they run, and the larger ones carry people with ease.

If you like those, you'll love this video.

The 150 3000 hp locomotives will be bought frm USA.


And in a seperate contract Pakistan will buy 75 diesel-electric locomotives more frm China`s Dongfang Electric Corporation and
Pakistan Railways also has signed a contract agreement of $134.45 million with China`s Machinery Import & Export Corporation for procuring 202 passenger coaches.........
Aswell as more than 50 locomotives frm south korea.......

Thts 275+ locomotives in total .......

P32AC-DM

The P32AC-DM locomotive was developed for both Amtrak and Metro-North so it can run off power either generated by the on-board diesel prime mover or collected from a third rail electrification system at 750 volts direct current. The P32AC-DM is rated at 3,200 horsepower (2,390 kW), 2,900 horsepower (2,160 kW) when supplying HEP, and can obtain a maximum speed of 110 mph (177 km/h)
The Dual Mode P32AC-DM is unique not only because of its third-rail capability, but also because it is equipped with GE's GEB15 AC (alternating current) traction motors, rather than DC (direct current) motors as used in the other subtypes. The type is confined to services operating from New York City, where diesel emissions through its two fully enclosed main terminals are prohibited. The P32AC-DM are seen only on Amtrak's Empire Corridor between Penn Station and Buffalo, the Ethan Allen Express, Lake Shore Limited (New York section), Adirondack, and Maple Leaf services, and locomotive-hauled Metro-North Railroad commuter trains to and from Grand Central Terminal. Metro-North Railroad Genesis locomotives have an escape hatch in the nose.
The Amtrak model third-rail shoes are for use on the over-running third-rail in Pennsylvania Station and the Metro-North Model are for under-running third-rail in Grand Central Terminal. The third rail shoes on Amtrak units are retracted when not operating in third rail mode while the Metro-North units have shoes that are permanently fixed in the down position.
