BAREILLY: Spanish train Talgo today ran at the speed of 110-115 kms per hour as its trial was conducted on the Bareilly-Moradabad line in Uttar Pradesh as part of the Railways’ strategy to induct faster trains.
The lighter and faster train, with nine coaches and hauled by a 4,500 HP diesel engine, covered the 90-km distance in 70 minutes, officials said.
The train left Bareilly at 9.05 AM and reached Moradabad at 10.15 AM, the officials said.
“The train ran at 100 to 115 km/hour speed,” said Rajiv Mishra, General Manager, North Eastern Railways (NER) said.
Talgo’s lighter trains consume 30 per cent less energy.
The nine-coach Talgo train consists of two Executive Class cars, four Chair Cars, a cafeteria, a power car and a tail-end coach for staff and equipment.
“The trial will continue on the same route till Jun 12,” Mishra said. (AGENCIES)
