India Developing, but still a long way to go

Never ask for escort service in India !

On a different note, India comes with a railway sub-culture.
To be Indian is to be 'train'-ed re: railways. Indians travel - by rail. The great Indian bazaar is the rail. World into itself.
Arunachal now joins the great Indian railway network, Kashmir train is already on, network connectivity in a couple of yrs.

Incredible that brand new track's skewed. Any ideas or is it the bread-'butter corruption ?

Manufacturing defects. Likely within the allowable tolerances for the trains.

Won't be a problem.


IR is using a new track construction (NTC) machine (this):

For the laying of certain stretches of the DFC to speed up work. This thing is state of the art and imported directly from the US, no problems here.

Not an issue. All tracks looks like there after first/ second stage of track laying.
These will be corrected once they run Leveling, Lining and Temper machine over these tracks!

Bro all these tracking laying, tempering and alignment machines are made in India!
Importing from US does not make sense.

I'm not informed on such issues, there must be a reason they went to the US, what Indian product is comparable to he NTC?

You are right, There is no one making NTC in India.

Thats the initial phase of laying down tracks.They still have to clean,distribute and temper the ballast.

Indian Railways has a lot of toys for track renewing made by Plasser India and I'm pretty sure the private JV companies are better equipped than IR.

They are imported from Harsco Rail,Murica.

AFAIK the DFC is the first set of lines to use this NTC machine in India, hopefully IR use more across India to speed up the expansion of the railway network.

Phew, thanks all.

India is good in railway engineering. Could be better, I hope incoming govt. privatises the railways.

And exported, check their site; I did.

Like the late-late, very late Indian telecom revolution storming the world; much like other sectors like the IT, auto, pharma and steel sectors; the railway business of India can storm the world.

I'm thinking, had the rails not be nationalised, and ghetto-ised I may add, private Indian railway Co.'s could have bought out available Co.'s. All around the world! Never too late, Indian rail sub's should scale up the game to rail services, outsourcing.
