Kolkata Local - আমি তোমাকে ভালবাসি

eLECTRIC mULTIPLE uNIT
A rake which runs through electricity and can be operated in either direction without reversing the Loco (in fact, there is no separate loco exists as the operating machinery is accommodated in small part of the passenger coaches).

emu means "electric multiple unit". such a train does not have one engine loco, but many engines. there are multiple electric motors located inside some of the coaches. Mumbai locals are emu's. You will see the pantographs touching the overhead electric wires. Whichever coach has a pantograph also has an electric motor - all these motors together power the train.
(also the emu is a flightless bird native to Australia. click here bit.ly/n6tzT Also see picture attached.)
