Sri Lanka- Engine drivers to boycott made in China carriages
MENAFN - Colombo Gazette)
Engine drivers have decided to boycott operating trains with railway carriages made in China.
The Locomotive Engine Operators' Union (LEOU) Secretary Indika Dodangoda said that railway carriages made in China pose a threat to the safety of the passengers.
He said that when engine drivers put the brakes on the engine, railway carriages made in China continue for a fair distance before coming to a halt.
Dodangoda told reporters today that railway carriages made in China need to be properly maintained to ensure they meet the local standards.
He said that until concerns raised over the railway carriages made in China are addressed engine drivers will boycott operating trains with those railway carriages.
Last September, Transport Minister Gamini Lokuge had instructed the Railway Engineering Department to submit a report on faulty Chinese train compartments in Sri Lanka.
Minister Lokuge instructed the Railway Engineering Department to inquire and submit a report as a number of complaints were filed by train engine drivers in this regard in the recent past.
The Engine Drivers Union pointed out that nearly 200 mishaps had been reported in the recent past due to faulty brakes on Chinese train compartments. (Colombo Gazette)

Isn't just a metro opened in Pakistan under China rail? I hope you all don't keep beating on dead horse and dont pick on 30 years old stuff to claim as example.

This is equal to say they can publish whatever B.S. without bearing any consequences, which is exactly what they are doing...lol...And all those fuxking idiot trolls love to post such B.S. day and night here!
Back to Sri Lanka railway locomotives:
Significant portion of locomotives/cars in Sri Lanka railway are imported from CRRC/SRC including the S9, S10, S12, S14/14A series, which are the backbone of the current Sri Lanka railway passenger transport.
Locomotives of Sri Lanka Railways - Wikipedia
In comparison, the locomotives imported from india such as the S11 series are involved in multiple fatal accidents:

Not only the safty record are better, trains imported from China are also more modern and comfortable, and has brought great convinience to people's lives.

When researching into the news, I came across this. What does the Sri Lankan Railway Trade Union wants?
in automobile, we all know disc brakes are very much cheaper to maintain but is not as sensitive and effective as the ordinary shoe brakes.
The union rejects the latest disc brakes in favour of the older electro-pneumatic brakes used by the older trains.
So in 2020 Sri Lanka Government has started to convert them.
https://www.newsfirst.lk/2020/01/16...-lankan-tracks-says-railway-trade-unions/amp/
Does this means that Made in India locomotives are defective?
Newly imported Indian locomotives are not suitable for Sri Lankan tracks says Railway Trade Unions
COLOMBO (News 1st) – Railway trade unions allege that locomotives brought to the country from India cannot be operated along Sri Lanka railway tracks.
Ten M 11 engines have been purchased under an Indian loan scheme and 8 of them have been brought to the country.
Ten train engines and 6 power sets were purchased by the previous government for a sum of Rs 1000mn and paid for through funds obtained from an Indian loan.
A team including Sri Lankan railway engineers were sent to India to inspect the engines and were given special training. Eight train engines have been brought down to the country since then.
After the initial inspections, one of the train engines that operated along the local railway line had derailed close to the Dematagoda station. The railway track and the road were severely damaged.
Indika Dodamgoda, Secretary of the Railway Engine Drivers Association:
“When we consider the length of the train engine, it is longer than any train engine that we have. We cannot operate these trains along our railway tracks.
The spaces between the wheels of the train engines are greater than the standard. As a result, this causes damages to the railway track, according to the relevant officials.
They requested for these train engines not to be operated along the Northern railway track. These engines cannot be operated after being connected to compartments with an air compressor brake system because these engines are too heavy and too long.
All of our turning platforms have been constructed to support an 80-tonne engine.”
S.P. Vithanage, co-convenor of the Railway Trade Union’s Alliance stated that Sri Lankan railway tracks have bends and turns and these long engines would have difficulty in manoeuvring.
He further added that these engines are valued at around Rs 750mn and they are only suitable to travel for about 800-1000km at a stretch which Sri Lankan tracks are not constructed for.
He went on to note that the government could have brought down proper locomotives for about Rs 300mn from Europe.
General Manager of Railways Dilantha Fernando said that engines with a similar weight had been imported and put into operation before.
He said that some of these engines haven’t been used as yet due to a delay in importing air compressor carriages.
However, the general manager added that a committee has been appointed to investigate the incident.
Mahinda Amaraweera, Minister of Transport Service Management and Minister of Power & Energy stated that they had a broad discussion at the head office of the Railways Department regarding the issue and proper steps will be taken to resolve the issue.
Minister added that officials hold two opinions regarding the issue and they intend to analyse and inspect the incident and punish those who are culpable.
Meanwhile, 4 of the 8 engines imported have been put into operation while 3 engines have been deployed along safe railway tracks.
A purchase involving such a large sum of money is carried out following the recommendation of a technical assessment committee and also subject to the approval of the cabinet.
Who are the members of the Technical Evaluation Committee that reviewed the purchase of these train engines?

As I say, Indian smearing. It's Indian train that is bad and Indian media replace India with China for their defective product under this smearing media.... And we have a China hated jump on the bandwagon to spread the fake news...

Incident doesn't mean accident..
LOL. After getting humiliate, typical excuse from Indian. How many China rail train export vs India? Finally, how many HSR India export? Zero...
Anybody who think India can make better rail or better quality need to get their head check.
