The commercial growth of a nation largely hinges on the quality of infrastructure which principally spins around its roadways, dams, railways, flyovers, bridges and much more. This very infrastructure is the connecting junction for the citizens as well as the domestic and international trade.
Talking about India, where the populace is highly dependent on the railways for commuting; the railway substructures are equally vital for freight carriage. This is the reason, why the movement of goods within the local boundaries has a strong connection with the nationwide trade.
In this respect, the new record set by the Indian Railways by launching the longest train has given new dimension of economic growth.
The South East Central Railway zone of Indian Railways recently operated the SheshNaag Train service, a 2.8 km long train combining 4 empty BOXN rakes. The train was operated by four sets of electric locomotives as for powering its massive movement.
In the history of Indian Railways, the national transporter has for the first time run a 2.8 km long ‘SheshNaag’ train. Indian Railways breaks another record by operating four trains together!
It is the longest train ever to run on the Indian Railways network. According to details shared by the Railway Ministry, the South East Central Railway zone of Indian Railways recently operated the SheshNaag Train service, a 2.8 km long train joining the four empty BOXN rakes which was further powered by four sets of electric locomotives.
The current situations in the country which on one hand witness a diminishing economic slope, and on the other facing an additional jolt due to the nationwide lockdown; this petty move through the launch of ‘SheshNaag’ can add to the hopes. The advent of this asset in the railway substructures hold immense possibilities from the domestic trade perspective.
