In the event of a power failure do the breaks automatically engage?

It should. That's the principle of airbrake anyway.

Enjoy beautiful Karachi view from Train!!

i noticed one thing that the tracks don't have ballast stones. The train seems to going at pretty good speed and im not sure if it is safe to run at that speed on unballasted track. Can someone please clarify from Pakistan?

@Maarkhoor @WAJsal


Even new loco design to run at 200 kph are coming (WAP 5 HS class).

with 3 routes (New Delhi Mumbai Western railway), New Delhi Howrah (Eastern Grand Chord Line) and New Delhi Bhopal (North Central Railways) gearing up for 200 kph operations, we could soon see these in operation.

In the event of a power failure do the breaks automatically engage?

Yes. The mechanism is similar to Electric Overhead cranes, expect that in place of spring thrusters, we have Solenoid operated air injection system ie in case of power failure the Solenoid coil de-energizes and air goes in brake piston, actuating brakes albeit assisted by a micro-processor control.

This is similar to WAP 5 bogie design

Dont worry with stringent standards, we can change and overcome! People can be taught the do’s and don’ts if they lack such information and proper enforcement can sway folks to change their attiudes

First stop killing over animals and rapes, than start wishful thinking...day by day lynching and rapes are increased even the presences of Indian Police....
