At some point, seperation of freight & passenger transport will take a while.

The converted electric locomotive WAG-C3 delivers 10,000 HP against 2 X 2612 HP of the original diesel locomotives (92 percent more power). Jul 10, 2020: Rlys rethinking plan to convert diesel locos into electrical; to assess tech, economic viability The Railways had said in 2018 that it was...

Next we should privatise the police & paramilitaries. This however is how all govt service should work, by outsourcing to competing & competent contractors.

A foreign company that will profit from the bullet train project shows more principle & sensitivity then India's own lawmakers.

No, it won't!.. Building a 1000 kilometre long flyover will be enormously costly compared to the digging culverts! It's very simple, that's why it's so common... see above cases. Animals, traffic, people can all easily cross through underpasses.. that's literally their very purpose. Fencing...

Local people will need to cross & it's a practical if they have to walk for miles for level-crossing... Full length elevated tracks will be insanely costly too! But if you can fence the railway track's length & create mini-underpasses (most railway lines are already on higher embankments) along...

WAG-12 finally out for trial on main lines.. WAGC-3 up & running.. So is the new aerodynamic WAP-5..

Maybe... Greasy palms have been known to make things happen in India. You too seem very concerned about Alstom's monetary losses. :playball: WAG-12 remains a dangerously unreliable disaster as of now. IR made a deal for capable products, & is under no obligation to accept pieces of crap over...

But there is going back on what WAG-12 does! Alstom fucked up big time (refer to older posts here). Got 2nd chance, fucked up again bigger time. Given time to fix issues, could deliver within deadline & still haven't. Alstom's WAG-12 will be to the IR, what Sukhoi's FGFA was to IAF... except...

Not if WAG-11 clears trials first... :india:

No good news so far. Hanging in limbo. Both Indeginous developments on the other hand, have been going smoothly. 10000hp WAGC3 up & running... no issues. 11000hp WAG11 is into trials... no hiccups, yet.
