To all the naysayers among US railroaders who say you can't run double stack containers under overhead wire of electrification, here is Indian Railways doing exactly that -- and without even using well cars.
@@johncas1 . . . But in the US, with a few regional exceptions that are small other than the Northeast Corridor, it would be not a matter of raising them, since we don't have them yet, but of building them high in the first place.
@@hmmmmm9540 The broad gauge of the track is nice for this, but not what enables use of flatcars instead of well cars -- for that, you must have high loading gauge (clearance, not track gauge). The broad track gauge does help by providing more lateral stability -- presumably at some point it would become absolutely necessary for that reason, but I don't know if that point has been reached.

For those who don't know these are tallest trains anywhere in the world. Because we use broad gauge we dont need to use well cars. This allows us to place containers directly on boogies which increases the height of train more than anywhere in the world.
That's partly correct, but you also have to make sure that all potential obstructions overhead are high enough above the tracks, _including the pantograph_ -- for example, a few lines have been built in Europe for double-stack, but they don't have the overhead wire raised up high enough yet, because the European locomotives have not yet been refitted with pantographs that are high enough like you see here.
I hope every other country that heavily depends on railways for the transportation of Freight, starts implementing this system in their railways as well... It will b helpful in reducing the overall length of the train, or it will b able 2 take more freight at a tym...

Logistical costs need to come down. W- 12 in action , hats off Alstom. This is amazing. Both Freight corridors are game changers for our international trade.
i heard WAG12 has problem, its wt is not sufficient to generate enough friction to pull heavy load in steep slopes. Instead railway have to use 2 WAG 6/9 engines.
Wow very impressive!! Almost could pass for the double stacks we have here in America. Also striking to me how tall our locomotives are! Thanks for the video!
@@vijayshrisingh51 The US loading gauge is bigger, therefore, locomotives in the US are taller/bigger than the Indian ones. This is despite the US having a narrower track gauge than India.
The WAG12 looks like 2 ‘WAG6’ likes bolted together, which may or may not be the case. The magic is in the modern electric motors and the electronic controls which minimise the losses (power, heat …). Great stuff!
Sticking two or more locomotives together is pretty much the only way to get to a certain amount of power and tractive effort. Such twin units are running ore trains in Sweden and Norway, and the Russian regularly stick two, three or four locomotives together, which operate as a single unit. The Chinese even stuck six locomotives together into a single unit. The Americans once built a 30 metre, 247t, eight axle monster, the EMD DDA40X, until they figured out that it's actually more cost-effective to just add single locomotives as required. This approach may not make sense for other countries, since the USA have large tracts that are essentially empty, and they have no electrified freight lines worth mentioning.
Yes, Indian Railways still use caboose. Indian Railways is a state-owned behemoth and is slow to adapt to new tech. IR also has to deal with militant labour unions while making such changes. They have recently started adding EOT train devices instead of the caboose. It will take at least another decade for it to be used on all freight trains.
@@mattg432 yes exactly and thats why these dedicated freight corridors (DFCs) were constructed so that those issues dont arise. Passenger trains arent allowed on these tracks and all the tracks are made such that they can double stack. There are 2 major DFCs, the western one and eastern one connecting west and east india respectively. The one in the video is Western DFC.
Very interesting video. India is making great steps forward and this can only please us. Here in Europe, and especially in my country (Italy), double-stacking would be impossible also for the presence of tunnels. But I have a question: doesn't the height of the catenary and the need to use such large pantographs create problems with electrical contact due to the greater amplitude of the oscillations? I wonder if this results to speed limitations. Or am I wrong?
Both the pantographs and the catenary should be good for 200 km/h as per the High Reach Pantograph specification RDSO/2007/EL/SPEC/0054. Whether that is possible to achieve under real-life conditions, I don't know.
As far as I know the top operating speed of these double decked electric locomotive will be 120 kmph in the two new dedicated freight corridor ( which also includes some of tallest tunnels in the world) here in India as per the official press release

The reason is geography and population of india. Most of other big countries have most population around sea border while in india mass population is in up,bihar, rajsthan,mp, punjab. Which are 500-2000 km away from cost line which needed for export and import

Stone India's innovation makes Indian Railway achieve this unprecedented feat to become the only railway in the world to run a train under a 7.5 meter-high contact wire.

Great video. THANK YOU for NOT using music. So many train videos I see are spoilt with music. We wanna hear the TRAIN not some song. Subbed your channel!
This may be a long and sort of difficult to read comment. So if the US intermodal (container cars seen in video) are next to the bogies and not on top, that means that the US can most definitely electrify their network since the height of the containers will be significantly lower. It would be nice if a big company took initiative, and electrified their main line showing other companies the positives of electrification.
U.S. intermodal trains are the same height as Indian double-stacked intermodal trains. Both countries have a height limit of just over 23 feet. The U.S. used to have lots of electrification with the Milwaukee Road back in the day. The real downside to electrification is that it's much more expensive to maintain and requires a larger fleet of employees to maintain the network. Diesel-electric trains are a far cheaper investment. Electrictrification also involves the building of new power plants and infrastructure. Diesel-electric trains remove the demand from power plants and put it onto the locomotive itself. The diesel engine only runs a generator. Diesel locomotives have electric traction motors that actually move the locomotive. The other problem is that the U.S. has many climates and vast open areas that are prone to powerful storms, which create large problems for railroads. Electrifying the U.S. railroad network just isn't really practical at this point.
Thank all your grandparents, PArents for seeing such a late development of India. Young kids want Modi / BJP to turn Congress India to Modern USA / China in one term.. if not they will blackmail that they would vote again to congress.. shame on us!!
For the safety reason, the overhead line of Indian railway is setting higher than the other country that why their cargo trains can carry double stack container. It is awesome for me, at least.

Since the time of the pyramids, man has dreamed of moving lots of stuff from one place to a different place. Fellas, we need to go to triple-stack trains!
Namaste Nishant, great video, question is...why didn't they build well wagons to reduce the height of double stacking? New WAG 60000 class electric loco's are impressive.
Broad Gauge can support the Center of Gravity of these stacks. Also, wells would increase the length of the train since the well is placed between the bogies on both ends. The DFC was designed keeping all of this in mind, so the big pantograph and electric lines.
@@dieseldavetrains8988 My pleasure! Please do note that the Center of Gravity point is a bit anecdotal and I have read it as being the answer to your 'balancing of the stack' question (as asked by others on Reddit).

Logistical costs need to come down. W- 12 in action , hats off Alstom. This is amazing. Both Freight corridors are game changers for our international trade.
i heard WAG12 has problem, its wt is not sufficient to generate enough friction to pull heavy load in steep slopes. Instead railway have to use 2 WAG 6/9 engines.
Why? How many percent of the traffic is taken by Altsom engines? These corporate fan boys..
As far as I know its not Alstom but Siemens who is making the trains.

Alstom making WAG 12
Wow very impressive!! Almost could pass for the double stacks we have here in America. Also striking to me how tall our locomotives are! Thanks for the video!
In India double stack trains are taller than anywhere in the world because we don't use well cars. Your locos are tall but not as you think.
@@vijayshrisingh51 The US loading gauge is bigger, therefore, locomotives in the US are taller/bigger than the Indian ones. This is despite the US having a narrower track gauge than India.
Well done INDIAN RAILWAYS,and Thank you Modijee
India's economy is moving. Amazing Indian Railways.
Born I along Nacala corridor in Malawi seeing trains since was a kid but this is my first time am seeing containers stacked double like that😱
The WAG12 looks like 2 ‘WAG6’ likes bolted together, which may or may not be the case.
The magic is in the modern electric motors and the electronic controls which minimise the losses (power, heat …).
Great stuff!
Sticking two or more locomotives together is pretty much the only way to get to a certain amount of power and tractive effort. Such twin units are running ore trains in Sweden and Norway, and the Russian regularly stick two, three or four locomotives together, which operate as a single unit. The Chinese even stuck six locomotives together into a single unit.
The Americans once built a 30 metre, 247t, eight axle monster, the EMD DDA40X, until they figured out that it's actually more cost-effective to just add single locomotives as required. This approach may not make sense for other countries, since the USA have large tracts that are essentially empty, and they have no electrified freight lines worth mentioning.
Excellent look of double decker 🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃. Never seen before 🏆😄
Interesting that you still have cabooses in India, even though they look much different than the ones we used to use in Canada
Ours is more British-type, I guess.
Yes, Indian Railways still use caboose. Indian Railways is a state-owned behemoth and is slow to adapt to new tech. IR also has to deal with militant labour unions while making such changes. They have recently started adding EOT train devices instead of the caboose. It will take at least another decade for it to be used on all freight trains.
we are planning to remove them

If the railway line runs under bridges or through tunnels, options are limited.
@@mattg432 yes exactly and thats why these dedicated freight corridors (DFCs) were constructed so that those issues dont arise. Passenger trains arent allowed on these tracks and all the tracks are made such that they can double stack.
There are 2 major DFCs, the western one and eastern one connecting west and east india respectively. The one in the video is Western DFC.

This will save time and fuel. Seamless logistic connectivity is required to be 5 trillion economy. Good work by government.
Very interesting video. India is making great steps forward and this can only please us.
Here in Europe, and especially in my country (Italy), double-stacking would be impossible also for the presence of tunnels. But I have a question: doesn't the height of the catenary and the need to use such large pantographs create problems with electrical contact due to the greater amplitude of the oscillations? I wonder if this results to speed limitations. Or am I wrong?
Both the pantographs and the catenary should be good for 200 km/h as per the High Reach Pantograph specification RDSO/2007/EL/SPEC/0054. Whether that is possible to achieve under real-life conditions, I don't know.
The power line could be lower if they are using lowered floor container cars like in north merica
@@rmdhndwiisn’t north america still using diesel locomotives?
@@niccolo_tommasi yes, but what i mean is they can lower the power line by using a lower deck cars like in america
As far as I know the top operating speed of these double decked electric locomotive will be 120 kmph in the two new dedicated freight corridor ( which also includes some of tallest tunnels in the world) here in India as per the official press release
Bro Got International Audience too 🎉
Congrats to India for proving to America that double stack eletrified intermodal trains _work_ and that their stubbornness to modernising their railroads is causing more harm than is worth the pennies they save.
Well some double stack container trains are 1.5km to 2 km log like "Sheshnag" and they are connected with 4 locos and run at 100 kmph/62 mph.
True but desiel trains are more powerful

Dedicated freight corridor as a concept is quite unique to India. It is not really a thing on such large scale in any other country.
The reason is geography and population of india. Most of other big countries have most population around sea border while in india mass population is in up,bihar, rajsthan,mp, punjab. Which are 500-2000 km away from cost line which needed for export and import
Dude America have these dedicated freight corridor much bigger than india since atleast around 100 years.

India imports about 90% of crude oil so to reduce oil consumption & oil dependency it’s Necessary for India to electrify railway network currently 85% of railway in india is electrified & 100% electrification is the target of current government.
India rail network is 4 th largest 68,043 km
Special freight corridors are also necessary to complete with china’s logistics cost which is cheap to attract investments in India in manufacturing industry.
Dedicated freight corridor(WDFC +EDFC) length is 3260 km long out of which 1800km operation rest will open 2024-25

92% of indian railways is electrified dude
It's so crazy how heavy these things are and they can go this fast!! Great video dude :)
This may be a long and sort of difficult to read comment. So if the US intermodal (container cars seen in video) are next to the bogies and not on top, that means that the US can most definitely electrify their network since the height of the containers will be significantly lower. It would be nice if a big company took initiative, and electrified their main line showing other companies the positives of electrification.
USA has too much oil to electrify things
Can definitely do👍
US oil lobbies will not alllow it
U.S. intermodal trains are the same height as Indian double-stacked intermodal trains. Both countries have a height limit of just over 23 feet. The U.S. used to have lots of electrification with the Milwaukee Road back in the day.
The real downside to electrification is that it's much more expensive to maintain and requires a larger fleet of employees to maintain the network. Diesel-electric trains are a far cheaper investment. Electrictrification also involves the building of new power plants and infrastructure. Diesel-electric trains remove the demand from power plants and put it onto the locomotive itself.
The diesel engine only runs a generator. Diesel locomotives have electric traction motors that actually move the locomotive.
The other problem is that the U.S. has many climates and vast open areas that are prone to powerful storms, which create large problems for railroads. Electrifying the U.S. railroad network just isn't really practical at this point.

Since the time of the pyramids, man has dreamed of moving lots of stuff from one place to a different place. Fellas, we need to go to triple-stack trains!
We also testing this 😂😂
You can search the video you will find 😅😅
We are testing triple stack
But they are dwarf containers
indian railways already tested triple stack you can watch it on youtube
Namaste Nishant, great video, question is...why didn't they build well wagons to reduce the height of double stacking? New WAG 60000 class electric loco's are impressive.
Because of loading unloading it is easy since in india most of the line are not capable to run double decker Train
Broad Gauge can support the Center of Gravity of these stacks. Also, wells would increase the length of the train since the well is placed between the bogies on both ends. The DFC was designed keeping all of this in mind, so the big pantograph and electric lines.
@@shiveshsingh3169 Thanks Shivesh, well explained.
@@dieseldavetrains8988 My pleasure! Please do note that the Center of Gravity point is a bit anecdotal and I have read it as being the answer to your 'balancing of the stack' question (as asked by others on Reddit). However, I haven't seen any authoritative source on it. It does make empirical sense though, from a physics perspective.
wide gauge, so centre of mass is already low.
