We had made so much progress in reducing accidents in recent years, but it seems like we have let our guard down. We need to get back to basics & focus on safety."
Another retired officer said, “Last major accident was in MaldaDivn ERly in Jan 2022.The #Malda derailment showed.. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

that there were cracks in our strategy. We need to be more vigilant & make sure that all safety procedures are followed. Malda happened becoz basics of planning were ignored-while extending run of electric loco, neither Divn, nor Zone nor RlyBd ensured that locomotives will not..

So there are 12 chips left in the market. Out of these, #Funds like #LIC buys 9 chips. 3 chips are now left on the open market.

@AvantiWestCoast How come that the pile of crap called Avanti West Coast is still allowed to operate train services I will never understand. I'm supposed to be on my way to Wolverhampton. So far I got as far as Euston.
I've been here for a while now; and train after train after train from Avanti is being cancelled! Due to staff shortages. Why don't they just hire more staff?! (No, it's not a train strike day).
And I'm not allowed to catch the next Birmingham train as it's operated by North Western Service. How come North West Rail is able to staff their trains and Avanti are not?! The information board very helpfully says "ask staff" - WHAT STAFF?!

حکومت پاکستان نے 58.2 ارب روپے کی لاگت سے تھر کول اور پورٹ قاسم کو پاکستان ریلوے نیٹ ورک سے منسلک کرنے کے منصوبے کا اعلان کیا ہے۔ پراجیکٹ، جس کا مقصد ایک قابل بھروسہ اور موثر ریلوے انفراسٹرکچر فراہم کرنا ہے 🚂، ایک 105 کلومیٹر کا ٹریک بنانا شامل ہے، جس میں 24.58 کلومیٹر لوپ لائن
اور 18 کلومیٹر ڈبل لائن کے ساتھ ساتھ 14 پلیٹ فارم والے سات ریلوے اسٹیشن شامل ہیں۔ اس منصوبے کا بنیادی مقصد تھر کے کوئلے کو پورے ملک میں پہنچانا، ماحولیاتی آلودگی اور سڑکوں پر ٹریفک کے ہجوم کو کم کرنا ہے۔ پاکستان میں کوئلے کی مانگ، بنیادی طور پر پاور اور سیمنٹ کے شعبوں سے چلنے
والی، آنے والے سالوں میں بڑھنے کی توقع ہے۔ تھر کے کوئلے کے استعمال سے درآمدی بل کو کم کرنے اور ایندھن کی لاگت کو معقول بنانے کے ساتھ ساتھ مقامی آبادی کے لیے رائلٹی اور ملازمت کے مواقع پیدا کرنے میں مدد ملے گی۔ توقع ہے کہ اس منصوبے کو پبلک سیکٹر ڈویلپمنٹ پروگرام اور سالانہ

The Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway (MSM) was formed in 1908 from the merger of the Madras Railway Company (MR) which operated a broad gauge (BG) system and the Southern Mahratta Railway(SMR) metre gauge (MG) system.
In 1943, MSM operated 1518 miles of Broad gauge track and 2087 miles of Metre gauge track across southern India.
Madras Railway Company (MR) was incorporated in 1845 for the purposes of building a 70 mile line between Madras and the military base at Arcot. In 1859, its mandate was expanded to Beypore, with branches to Bangalore, and via Bellary, to join the line from Bombay.
The North-Western State Railway (NWR) was formed in 1886 by merging the Sind, Punjab and Delhi Railway, the Indus Valley State Railway, the Punjab Northern State Railway, the eastern section of the Sind-Sagar Railway and the southern section of the Sind-Pishin State Railway.
The NWR operated a board gauge network on the following mainlines Karachi to Quetta, Karachi to Lahore, Lahore to Delhi and Lahore to Peshawar. By 1947, it operated 6861 miles of track.
The oldest section of track in the system was opened between Karachi City and Kotri in 1861 by the Scinde Railway. The terminus became the Karachi Cantt Station.
Between 1925 and 1960 all electrified #railway tracks in #India operated on a Direct Current system. The last sections of 1.5 kV DC from Mumbai to Panvel and Thane to Vashi, were upgraded to 25 kV AC in April 2016. Here is a look at the now extinct DC locomotives of India.
WCP-1/2 ordered by GIPR to a Swiss Locomotive & Machine Works design for operations over the Western Ghats in 1928. 22 Vickers built locos entered service in 1930 and served into the mid-1980s. With a top speed of 137 km/h, the locos offered 15,295 kgf of tractive power.
WCP-3/4 were two locomotives ordered to General Electric Company and Brown, Boveri & Cie. designs for evaluation purposes in 1928. Built by R&W Hawthorn, Leslie & Co. both offered lower tractive effort and speed than the WCP-1 (EA-1). They operated into the late 1960s.
The Bengal Nagpur Railway operated several classes of steam locomotives until its demise, including India's largest: BNR Class N "Beyer Garratt" type 4-8-0+0-8-4 steam locomotive Nr. 814 (built by Beyer Peacock Locomotive Works, Manchester-Gorton)

1/3.. Here is a crime that is mostly going Unnoticed... The RAILWAYS CRIME AND FRAUD... Its a dangerous sign of how the GOI operates... @AshwiniVaishnaw @NarendraModi... As long as the Rail Budget was separate.. every fare increase was publicly announced and noticed..
2/3.. During Covid.. under the garb of safety & "Special trains".. all fares have been increased.. the lowest 2nd fare is 145-145 plus txn chgs.. 3AC fares from 385-1100 minimum.. All the fares have been dramatically increased & theres no noise.. & when no Linen, no food served
3/3.. The min cancellation for 2nd class is 120 & upper classes 160 or more.. Since Rail Budget was scrapped.. the LOOT by Railways goes totally unnoticed & even Oppn sleeps.. This is the "Sewa" that @NarendraModi & @AshwiniVaishnaw are QUIETLY delivering.. LOL! TOTAL FRAUD!
