ALCO - stands for American locomotive company which produces a fleet of diesel locomotives.
CONCOR- container corporation of India limited.
CONRAJ-
Some...
more... of the fast (up to 100km/hr freight trains, especially on the Mumbai-Delhi route, are informally named 'Con-Raj' (for Container Rajdhani). Some of these even go straight through Vadodara without a halt, with crew changes only at Valsad and Godhra.
CONCOR has obtained several high-speed flat wagons which are rated for service at 100km/h. (These are also known as 'low belt container flat wagons', and abbreviated 'BLC'.) These have several advanced features, such as automatic twist locks, slackless drawbars, and small-diameter wheels allowing a low bed height. These are currently [12/00] in use on the Tughlakabad-Mumbai container route for the Con-Raj trains mentioned above. More are being ordered, under the auspices of a World Bank loan and the IBRD. Newer versions have automatic load sensing devices to allow optimum braking under varying loads. The wagons have a single-pipe air-brake system.

please wait...Translate to EnglishALCO stands for American Locomotive Company which makes diesel trains. CONCOR (Container Corporation of India Limited) is also a train company that has gotten really fast trains that can go up to 100km/hr. These trains are called Con-Raj, like Container Rajdhani, and they don't stop in Vadodara, only in Valsad and Godhra to change the crew. CONCOR has also gotten some new wagons that are designed for speed with cool features like automatic twist locks and small wheels. These wagons are used on the Tughlakabad-Mumbai route for the Con-Raj trains, and more are being ordered because they are so cool.
