In Shimmering sand dunes desert A bright hues of red and yellow, this is Indian Railways' new diesel locomotive - it's the first in a set of 1,000 engines - that will power trains for many years from now. Manufactured by GE Transportation, the new locomotive was unveiled in June 2017. After two months of testing and validation, the locomotive has now been painted. This particular locomotive has been made in the US, but eventually, GE will make the new engines in its factory in Bihar under the government's 'Make in India' initiative. We take a look at the significance of its colour scheme and other salient facts:
The bright colours are said to hold a "special meaning", with yellow representing freshness and red signifying energy. Initially, 50 of the twin-cab 1,676 mm gauge locomotives was exported from the US. This WDG4G-class locomotive for Indian Railways has been manufacturing in Marwoha Factory in Bihar
GE will make two types of locomotives for Indian Railways. This is a dual-cab locomotive with a 4,500-horsepower engine. The second locomotive, model ES57ACi, features a 6,000-horsepower engine.
GE will manufacture the 'Make in India' locomotives at its locomotive factory in Marhowra, Bihar. This factory will be used to manufacture the rest of the locomotives
