Where can I find locomotives that have been exported from India by IR?

20-06-2019

There are several locomotives that have been manufactured specifically for other countries, or rebuilt and then exported, sold/resold, or otherwise given to other national railways by Indian Railways, such as the many YDM-4's sold to Bangladesh, Vietnam, Myanmar, Togo, etc. Many of these are in active use on those railways. However, it is often hard to get accurate information on locomotive numbers and their current disposition. Mick Pope posted the following to the IRFCA mailing list in July 2008: The Summer 2008 edition of the Continental Railway Journal contains the following news reports of exported YDM-4 and other stock which may be of interest to IRFCA members.

What are the systems of colour-light signalling used by IR?

What are drooping signals?

June 21, 2019

In single-wire transmission, heat causes the transmission wire to stretch or shrink, and this can result in an incorrect indication of the signal aspect. For instance, the most restrictive aspect may end up being below the horizontal in upper-quadrant signalling on a hot day - this is termed a drooping signal when the angle is more than 5 degrees.

Why are multiple aspect signalling systems used? What was wrong with the older systems which had two aspects?

June 21, 2019

Multiple aspect signals, by providing several intermediate speed stages between 'clear' and 'on', allow high-speed trains sufficient time to brake safely if required. This becomes very important as train speeds rise. Without multiple-aspect signals, the stop signals have to be placed very far apart to allow sufficient braking distance, and this

June 21, 2019

WR EMUs are numbered differently, identified by 3-digit numbers identifying the rake and a letter (e.g., 'C') added to distinguish the individual coach in the EMU rake.
