I'm telling you from how it's reported here
The WAG-9 is the most produced electric locomotive in the world by now probably.
Nearly 5400.How many units produced?
Most WAG-9s I see now are either HC or 9000hp HH models. The twin unit variant is in trials. We also learned a lot during the development of the WAG-11 (Twin units converted from WGD-4s) and the shelved WAG-10 (Twins converted from old WDG-3s).5384 is the total production till August 2024.
WAG-9 is being produced at following: Locomotive Units across the country.
Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) - Bulk of orders produced in CLW - ~5K
Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW)
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL)
Patiala Locomotive Works (PLW)
We are also not just producing same units from 1996 onwards but constantly improving it with time and variable power:
Heavy Version with 9000 HP
and new 12000 HP variant in development.
We have to plan few of the overcrowded routes better.
Currently one of the most crowded routes run from Delhi --Lucknow -- towards east. The no of trains can be increased. Put more Vande Bharat during whole day till Lucknow/Prayagraj and then run fresh train from there onwards.
Read about HUN and HAN track classification, railways need a good analytics department of their own which gives clear info on where they need to push on digitalization in the stream and setup few technology centres across premier institute, will work wonders in long runThere is no scaling of trains based on Demand. Eg. Lot of folks from Bihar were working in the state of TN in Textiles and construction. For their travel to Patna we have the grand total of 2-3 trains per day. Last time when Chhath pooja came we saw the same cattle class travel.
On the other hand during Pongal due to huge demand for travelling to hometown in TN the number of buses operated by TN government will be increased significantly to 2k-23k along with large number of private operators.
Something needs to be done like introducing extra trains, rationalizing the ticket price of SL and AC. (SL-805 to Patna vs 3A -2205 for Patna). Maybe introduce AC Trains and charge some 150-1700 per head
The problem is Indian railway and it’s working. I think no public sector invests in maintenance and upkeep.Seems nice
Atleast by looks
Now just ban the dehati ghutka eating assholes
