It has been the endeavour of Indian Railways to improve the
quality of travel for every customer and in this direction the
Tejas, Humsafar, Antyodaya and Deendayalu coaches have
been put into service. In tune with the motto of “Sabka saath,
Sabka vikas” , Indian Railways plans to turn out state of the
art Train18 and Train20 train sets which will revolutionize rail
travel.
The prototype of Train18- India’s first train-set will be turned
out in June 2018 and has thus been named so. A train-set as
the name suggests is a self propelled train like the EMU and
DEMU stock in service today. It has the inherent advantage
of faster acceleration and turn around as compared to a
conventional train since no reversal of locomotive is required
as there is a driving cab at either end.
