Double-stack container trains are redefining freight transportation in India. Just imagine how many trucks this keeps off our highways and how much diesel it saves. The best part? This entire train is hauled by an electric locomotive.

I believe they now even load milk and other perishable trucks on trains for faster delivery. Really effective way of transportation

The government should find a cool spot and build a shaded viewing area for tourists to watch these trains come and go. Many Indian men will pay for this, including myself. 😇

Apply the same thing to cities with building tram and metro helps soo much than cars does not make any sense and also increasing the walkability in cities.

AI generated image is good but not perfect yet.Back side is single stack suddenly it becomes double stack towards the can match @narendramodi in faking news.

Shhh! This shouldn’t reach Nithin Gadkari! Then he would ask Aswani to stop this madness as he wouldn’t be able to sell more expressways & corridors to his contractor buddies

Wish the same courtesy could be extended to humans jam packed in to trains, travelling inside loos, spilling out of windows. Could it be considered as a viable way to improve capacity without increasing number of trains?

Absolutely amazing. Not just the diesel, trucks off our roads, accidents also are avoided

This is not possible 1) Even a double engine can't take so much load. 2) The electric wires are just 5/7 feet above the engine all over India

Crying chamchas in the comments they don’t want to see anything positive about India.

whether the prices got halved?

And that electric is produced by another fossil fuel called coal.

Pessimist @ravish_journo will do a Vlog and tell you how these double-stack trains are creating abject joblessness for the truck drivers !! Beware of pessmists. They have a problem for every solution.

Ya at same time single stack pasanger trains transporting catteles oh sorry human beings like this . It's sleeper class not unreserved. Railway nd it's minstery must hang der heads in shame

Under the Eleventh Five Year Plan of India (2007–12), the Ministry of Railways started constructing a new Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) in two long routes, namely the Eastern and Western freight corridors. Thanks to Manmohan Singh Government

That's why WAG12 ,WAG9 powers are there ,could haul 12000ton and 9000ton load easily with high rise pantograph section

While it's true this is an advancement in our logistics and it seems non-polluting, we also have to check the source of this electricity... If it is largely coal, then indirectly it is a polluting source of energy.

@MandarSawant184 W DFC 🗿

There is a report made before 2002 by a central service officer saying that when you electrify a line make it double the height so that in the future you can use double decker.

May i ask how the electricity is being produced? Amd the pollution caused in producing it?

This is great if true! Just hope that the upper-deck containers are well restrained & its within design-limits to operate freight containers as double-deckers.

And that too on DFCs No passenger trains affected 👍

Not being on negative side..but imagine how many truck drivers would become jobless.

@grok What is the distribution of electricity generation in India in terms of thermal, nuclear, hydro and solar? Also, create a pie chart to show the same alongwith a table.

WAG9’s have some serious 💪🏻💪🏻 @RailMinIndia

That looks F*CKING AMAZING ‼️

very true !! The foolish govt need to spend more on railways than on roads

Paisa hota to grok se pooch leta

And what will road transport sector will do? Road costs lesser than railways

Double stack container trains hauled by Electrical Locomotives are understandably available in Bharat only.

@Qamarcheema

The dude who got allocated the middle carriage said hell no Took 2 of his containers & taken the truck 😁

This is present since 2018. What and why this is suddenly trending?

Did you think about the other train,,? The pax train, now it's more than 10 years I wrote to @RailMinIndia to consider double Decker trains used in Europe and some parts of South India! People are not getting seats, and those dare make the trains Jam packed. If double nos travel!

Finally something nice to see 😅

And electricity is generated by burning coal 😅😅
