----------------------------- Decision Needs To be Revisited On Practical Ground by IR & CLW _______________________
Ref: /blog/post/1513533
We have presently the following strength in Indian Railways:
Conventional Locos: 4190(Out of Which 85 are WCAM Class AC-DC Loco)
3

Phase Locos: (Goods: 576 Passenger: 304): 880
Source: click here
Total Trains in Indian Railways: 3681(As per IRI records)
Now out of these 3681 Trains of IR 85% are hauled by Conventional Loco which has a huge stock than the total number of Trains of IR. Only 15% of these 3681 Trains are hauled by 3 Phase Locos.
Now I have a doubt is the entire 3 Phase Stock(880 Locos) are utilized 100% in IR?
As because Conventional Locos are "Completely Utilized" by IR we all know this and "Conventional Goods Locos" are also used for hauling trains.
But is the entire 3 Phase Stock(880 Locos) are 100% utilized by IR?
If IR won't utilize all it's 3 Phase Loco completely then the decision of switching over to 3 Phase (100%) from the next year by CLW won't be fruitful for IR as because at that time also the "Entire Burden" will be shifted to "Conventional Locos" like now and as "3 Phase Locos" are "Expensive" it should be utilized to it's full potential.
It's a matter of Deep Concern and as declared by Hon'ble RM, I think "Energy Audit"and "Cost Audit for both Maintenance and Operational Costs" should be made separately for "Conventional Loco" and "3 Phase Loco" so that "Illusion free Real Picture" can be produced before the Rail Ministry about the "Performance" of these two Loco Class and train all the LP's and staffs about 3 Phase Loco which is "VERY CRUCIAL" I think before IMPLEMENTING THE DECISION OF totally "SHUT DOWN THE PRODUCTION OF CONVENTIONAL LOCO" by CLW on and from 2016. If 100% Switchover to 3 Phase is mandatory seems to IR then "Bold Instruction" should be given to ALL ZONES which will COMPEL them to take and use 3 Phase Loco to it's full Potential which is a "VERY COSTLY ROLLING STOCK".(Each 3 Phase Cost 14 crore which is 6 Crore more than Conventional Ones)

Sir,
You really misunderstood all the stuff as usual.
I mean to say CLW has already decided to switch over to 100% 3 Phase Loco and they won't produce any conventional Loco after this year which has already been decided by both IR and CLW ( /blog/post/1513533)now IR is leaning heavily on "Conventional Loco" which we all know only 10% train of IR is given to 3 Phasers permanently in spite of it's many cost related and other advantages over Conventional.
Now
...
more...
if CLW produce only 3 Phase High Speed Loco as already fixed then IR won't use them to it's full potential (as because many instances are there where Loco Link of trains are changed from 3 Phase to conventional) so the 3 Phasers will stand like "Statue" in Tripsheds, which means "Drainage of large amount of money" to IR. So I suggest that if Zones of IR(Except few) do not want to use 3 Phasers then CLW should continue with Old Conventional Loco Production not 3 Phase as because each 3 Phase Loco cost 14 Crore which is not a matter of joke on the other hand each conventional Loco cost only 6 crore-8 crore.
