Chennai: Train
18, the country’s first engine-less train that is being regarded as a successor
to the 30-year-old Shatabdi Express, is set to hit the tracks for trials on October
29.
Driven by a self-propulsion module sans a separate locomotive, the train, capable of running at a speed of up to 160 kmph, comes with technical features for enhanced quick acceleration. The swanky 16-coach prototype without a locomotive (engine) will cut travel time by 15 per cent compared to the Shatabdi.
