If India is supplying engines to Pakistan, then it is good thing that they are doing.
Hi,
Pakistan needs to go back to the U S for diesel electric locomotives----. We had a proven working locomotive and then we screwed up and went for the cheaper chinese version----and also good pakistanis burnt quite a few of them in anger----others had a lots of parts stolen from them.
The GE engine never failed us---some 40 and 50 years old examples are still making runs through the country----. Nobody comes close to the GE / united states for diesel electric locomotives---they are the F16's / F15's of the railroad network of the world.

Sir, indian engines especially WDM, WDG and even more powerful WAP-7(6300 hp) engines are suitable for indian subcontinent climate, they are very rugged and can haul more than 26 boggies at speeds of about 120 kmph...Why not buy/rent from India and BD and Iran? Why should we leave out India from trade? Palestinians and Israelis trade, so do Greeks and Turks, why are we always trying to be the odd man out? As it is, there is billions of rupees of trade on the black market going on between Pakistan and India.
Trade is good. We buy cattle from them, and they buy sugar from us...there is already a precedence on the open market. Locomotives from India is not that bad of a deal if its feasible for us and if our own industry is not getting hurt (last time I checked, we do not manufacture/assemble any).
They have certified chinese engines as (s)crap...no offence to chinese engg, but they chose inferior ones. Now its time to test Indian Engines..Does any other country uses Indian ones.?
I completely agree with you sir, GE rockssss, I happen to attend a seminar at my college where GE's chief engineer from banglore came to adress us...it was really amazing...Hi,

Metro engines don't have to haul 26 boggies or 3000 tonnes of load...their working environment is completely different...a bit too much there..We ourselves use some Chinese made locomotive gears for various metro projects,here in India.Do you want a link?
PR went for GE engines and Chinese bogies, no point of reviving an old threadI completely agree with you sir, GE rockssss, I happen to attend a seminar at my college where GE's chief engineer from banglore came to adress us...it was really amazing...
Even indian diesel locos were derivative of GE's engine...and indian WDG-4 are proven engine, though itz a different matter that indian railway has electrified about 75-80% of total tracks and is going for more powerful electric engines WAP-7,9 (6300-6400 hp) class...even they are replacing WAP-4(5400 hp) with modern WAP-7s...
So indian engines will always benefit pakistan
