India orders 800 heavy freight locomotives from Alstom
Freight with “a maximum speed of 75 mph!” That alone is worth noting.
p.s. Thanks to Trains and the News Wire for including rail news stories from around the world. It’s a small world, with tons of fascinating railroading.
Just wondering if the folks in Texas and Indiana are checking their planners to see how much longer they will have a job before the manufacture of their locomotives are sent off shore. Watch any video on the BBC news site and the usual preplay is t the Indian Make It Here pitch. They want your jobs!!!
