Electric locomotive reaches Guwahati

Trains between New Delhi and Kamakhya will not run without change of traction
Guwahati, the largest city in the northeast, was brought under the electrified rail network, with the first train – a parcel van – reaching Kamakhya station from New Cooch Behar in West Bengal on October 21.
Kamakhya station is on the western edge of Guwahati and about 6 km from the central Guwahati railway station.
Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) officials said the arrival of the parcel van at Kamakhya station was a major step towards the electrification of all the main and branch lines across the region. This would also translate into huge savings for NFR, one of the costliest zones for Indian Railways because of expenditure on diesel locomotives and maintenance of tracks and railway facilities on tough terrain.
