In the #fiscal #year #ending March 2020, Indian #Railways carried 808.6 crore (8.086 billion) #passengers and #transported 121.23 crore (1.2123 billion) tonnes of freight.[4] It runs 1 lakh (100,000) #passenger #trains #daily, on both #long-distance and #suburban routes, #covering 7,325 #stations across India.[4] #Mail or #Express #trains, the most common #types of #trains, run at an average speed of 50.6 km/h (31.4 mph). #Suburban #EMUs run at an #average speed of 37.5 km/h (23.3 mph). Ordinary #passenger #trains (incl. mixed) run at an #average #speed of 33.5 km/h (20.8 mph).[4] The #maximum #speed of #passenger #trains #varies, with the #Gatimaan #Express #running at a #peak #speed of #160 km/h (99 mph).
In the #freight #segment, IR runs 8,479 trains daily.[4] The #average #speed of #freight #trains is #around 24 km/h (15 mph). The #maximum #speed of freight trains #varies from 60-75 km/h (37-47 mph) #depending on their #axle load with 'container #special' #trains running at a #peak speed of #100 km/h (62 mph).
As of #March 2020, #Indian #Railways' rolling stock consisted of 2,93,077 freight #wagons, 76,608 ₹₹passenger coaches and 12,729 locomotives.[4] IR owns locomotive and #coach-production #facilities at #several #locations in India. It had 1.254 million employees as of March 2020, making it the #world's #eighth-largest employer.[4] The government has #committed to #electrifying India's entire rail network by 2023-24, and become a "net-zero (#carbon emissions) #railway" by 2030.[7]The #Indian #locomotive class WAP-4 is a class of 25 kV AC electric #locomotives that was #developed in 1993 by #Chittaranjan #Locomotive Works for Indian Railways. The model name stands for broad gauge (W), #AC Current (A), #Passenger traffic (P) #engine, 4th #generation (4). They entered service in late 1994. A total of 773 WAP-4 were built at CLW between 1993 and 2015, which made them the most numerous class of mainline electric passenger locomotive until the WAP-7. The locomotive was developed after its predecessor, the WAP-1, was found inadequate to haul the longer, heavier express trains (24-26 coaches) that were becoming the #mainstay of the #Indian #Railways #network.
WAP-4

The #WAP-4 is one of the #most #successful #locomotives of #Indian #Railways serving both #passenger and #freight #trains for over #26 years. This class #provided the basic #design for other #locomotives like the #WAP-6 . Despite the #introduction of #more #modern types of #locomotives like #WAP-7, a #significant number are still in use, #both in #mainline duties. #Production of this class was halted in #December 2015 with #locomotive number #25051 being the last unit to be rolled out of #Chittaranjan #Locomotive Works. As of January 2021, all #locomotives except those lost in accidents still retain "operational status" on the mainline as #WAP-4, with further examples having been #converted back from WAP-6. Recently as per #directive received from Railway Board [RB] all the loco #sheds holding WAP-4 type #locomotive have started "Mu" [Multiple Unit] operations. This #configuration of Mu WAP-4 locos are being used to haul medium #tonnage faster freight trains #across IR. The different #locomotive sheds of #WAP4 are #Arakkonam, #Santragachi, #Erode, #MughalSarai, #Howrah and Bhusaval.
