| Final trial run of NDM-6 Diesel-Hydraulic Loco conducted successfully on DHR | | |
Early Times Report
MALIGAON, Aug 4: The final trial run of the newly procured NDM-6 Diesel-Hydraulic (DSL) Loco for the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) was successfully conducted recently, from Darjeeling to Siliguri with three coaches. This follows the earlier successful uphill trial run from Siliguri to Darjeeling.
The NDM-6 loco, specially designed for narrow gauge heritage routes like the DHR, is equipped with upgraded safety features and offers improved performance and reliability. The loco has been introduced to enhance operational efficiency on the UNESCO World Heritage section, ensuring safer and more sustainable travel across the picturesque hill terrain.
This development marks a significant step in preserving the charm of the DHR while incorporating modern engineering enhancements. The trial runs are a part of routine safety and performance evaluation before inducting the loco into regular service. Further two additional NDM-6 Diesel Loco are under procurement and will soon be introduced into the DHR.
Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) remains committed to the preservation and modernization of heritage railway systems like DHR while continuing to provide safe and comfortable travel for passengers. |
