Electric

edit

In 1925, the first electric train ran between Bombay and Kurla, hauled by a imported SLM locomotive on a DC traction.[1] In 1927, the first electric locomotive hauled passenger train was pulled by an imported WCP-1.[2] In 1957, Indian Railways adopted 25 kV 50 Hz AC traction with the first runs beginning in December 1959 with the WAM-1 locomotives.[1]

EMU

In 1925, the Electric Multiple Units (EMU) introduced in Bombay were 1.5KV DC units imported were from Cammell Laird and Uerdingenwagonfabrik.[1] In the 1960s, EMUs were developed by Intergral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai. Indian Railways uses multiple DC units in operation in several suburban sections which are classified from WCU-1 through WCU-15. BHEL developed AC-DC dual use EMUs which can run on 25kV AC and 1.5kV DC traction lines.[1] In the late 1990s, MEMUs were developed which ran on 25KV AC power. AC Electric multiple units are designated WAU-1 to WAU-4.[5] In 2019, ICF rolled out three-phase AC units to replace conventional DC units.[6]

Diesel

edit

In 1954, the first diesel locomotive was used in India, which was manufactured by North British Locomotive Company.[7] In 1958, WDM-1, the first locomotive used for mainline traffic was imported from ALCO.[8] In 1964, the first broad-gauge WDM-2 diesel locomotive was rolled out by Banaras Locomotive Works.[9]

Diesel multiple units

In 1993-94, Diesel multiple units (DMU) were introduced into service. Depending on their transmission system, they are classified as DEMU (diesel-electric transmission) or DHMU (diesel-hydraulic transmission).[5] With increase in electrifiction, DEMUS have been replaced by MEMUs in stages.[5]
