By the looks 2nd pic looks like DMU. I dont know how are you saying that they will change their diesel locos with EMUs which stands for electric multiple units. We have DMUs in Delhi,Mumbai in lesser no of routes which are very efficient but that routes are not main routes. Pakistan should go for 10-12 car DMU sets.

My bad,sorry. I wanted to say same but in hurry I said looks like DMU instead of EMU. If you read whole post you will get the sense.
Indian railways back in 50s and 60s imported GM,ALCO made locos(diesel).I have a question:
These engines that India is offering to Pakistan; were they manufactured in India??
The reason I'm asking is because I read in one of the news articles recently that the locomotives India is offering was bought from an American company several decades ago & that company closed 26 years ago over quality concerns.
Is this True?
After the closure of Alco's Schenectady works, locomotives to Alco designs continued to be manufactured in Canada by Montreal Locomotive Works, and in Australia by A. E. Goodwin. In addition, Alco-derived locomotives form the major chunk of diesel power on the Indian Railways. Many thousands of locomotives with Alco lineage are in regular mainline use everywhere in India and around 100 new locos are added every year.
