Please will anyone clarify :
Why does 13025 run from HWH-BRKA using a diesel traction inspite of having travelling through the 1st electrified route (HWH-DHN)?(Even DHN-CRP-BRKA is electrified, I mean why waste precious Diesel when an electric loco would provide the same, if not better service!
Same thing with Ranchi-Dumka intercity, an electric tration can easily work upto JSME, but no a BKSC WDM-3A hauls its straight from RNC to Dumka!
What
...
more...
I want to ask is:-
Is changing from diesel-electric really that difficult or expensive (Because I have seen Mughalsarai do it seamlessly all day)?
With oil prices rising shouldn't IR focus more on cutting operational costs (Reduce Diesel usuage & Increase Electric Traction usuage)?
And shouldn't the ALCO's put to rest finally! (Pollution Control and Fuel Saving)!
