Parallel Systems wants to reopen small rails roads with its electric autonomous locomotive

A parcel train rolled into Kamakhya Railway Station in Guwahati on Thursday, making it the "first-ever" train to be pulled by an electric locomotive in Assam.

A technical fault with a tower wagon (a self-propelled unit used to inspect over-head cables powering electric locomotives) at a railway station in Madhya Pradesh's Harda led to a heartbreaking sight - around three dozen people forced to push it.

General Motors Co will supply electric batteries and hydrogen fuel cell systems for rail supplier Wabtec Corp's locomotives, in a move extending the No. 1 U.S. automaker's reach outside the automotive sector.

These high-horsepower electric locomotives help to decongest the saturated tracks by improving the average speed and the loading capacity of freight trains operating on the network.

With the FDI project and the contract won by Alstom, India has now become the sixth country, joining the league of nations that produce high horsepower locomotives indigenously.

According to a statement released by Hitachi ABB Power Grid, the company will deliver traction transformers for electric locomotive manufacturer Chittaranjan Locomotive Works

Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor: With the operational Bhaupur-Khurja section, the existing Kanpur-Delhi mainline is likely to be decongested and will allow faster train operations

Alstom bagged a contract worth "3.5 billion from Indian Railways to supply 800 double-section electric locomotives of 12,000 HP capable of hauling almost 6000 tonnes at a speed of 120 kmph

The Railway Ministry has approved Alstom-built 12,000-horsepower (HP) electric locomotives to run freight trains at a maximum speed of 120 kmph, a statement from the French company said on Wednesday.

The electric engineers of Northern Railway have built a battery-operated engine, which can be used for shunting operations. It is built from the old electric locomotive engines at a cost of Rs 5 lakhs in a month's time.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in his constituency, Varanasi, today to flag off the world's first diesel to electric locomotive. The project was completed by the Diesel Locomotives Works in record time. PM Modi took keen interest and went around the factory and inspected the engine from inside.

Keeping with the Railways' mission of 100 per cent electrification and de-carbonisation, Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), Varanasi, has converted a diesel locomotive to run on electric traction at almost twice the power, an official said on Thursday.

The Northern Railway today received its first aerodynamically designed passenger electric locomotive capable of running at 200 kmph, an official said. "The first aerodynamically designed three-phase WAP-5 passenger electric locomotive built by the Chittaranjan Locomotive Works has been introduced in service in Northern Railway today," a senior rail...
