INDIA: A prototype twin-unit electric freight locomotive is being produced at the Diesel Locomotive Works in Varanasi by rebuilding two diesel locomotives. The 12-axle WAGC3 locomotive is to be formed from two permanently-coupled sections each rated at 5 000 hp, compared to 2 600 hp for each of the original WDG3A diesel-electric freight locomotives. DLW said the project was being undertaken with a ‘crack team’ of engineers from the Research Design & Standards Organisation, Chittaranjan Locomotive Works and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. The frames, bogies and traction motors of the diesel locomotive have been retained, and combined with the sidewalls and roof from a withdrawn WAM4 electric locomotive.

The electrical systems are based on a WAG7 electric locomotive, while the original Alco diesel engine has been discarded. DLW said conversion of the first section was completed on a short timescale.

For all practical purposes, the movie is nothing more than a lecture about how Christianity stole the “real” Jesus—visually pretty, but deadly dull. The da vinci code full movie 123movies. Furthermore, Howard fails to substitute a cinematic cleverness sharp enough to entertain the audience. As Robert Langdon is a disaster.

Work began on December 22 and the rebuilt unit was ready for testing February 28. Production of the second section is now underway. If the conversion proves successful, further diesel locomotives could be rebuilt into electric locomotives instead of undergoing mid-life overhauls. This would help Indian Railways to expand its electric fleet to keep pace with the planned rapid roll-out of electrification infrastructure.

Apart from its main workshop, CLW has a unit in Dankuni. In 2017-18, CLW built 325 locomotives in West Bengal and helped the Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) in Varanasi manufacture 25 more. The American Locomotive Company's first true production diesel locomotive was the DL-103 (the 'DL' stood for diesel locomotive), a streamlined end-cab design similar to then-EMC's (the Electro-Motive Corporation, before it became a division of General Motors) EA model of 1937.

Minister of Railways Piyush Goyal ‏ highlighted the use of indigenous technology under the Make In India initiative, and said the project would ‘give impetus’ to the government’s plans to increase the use of electric traction.
