India’s fastest train completes final test run in record time

[Anup Tiwari]

AGRA: The sixth and final trial for
Gatimaan Express, the first semi
high-speed train service between
Delhi and Agra, was completed on
Tuesday, during which the train
covered the 195-km journey in 115
minutes, clocking a maximum speed
of 160-plus kmph. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi is expected to flag off
the train, touted to be the country's
fastest, in the second week of June.
Equipped with a 5,400HP electric
locomotive and 12 modern coaches,
the train, however, arrived 10
minutes late as it was expected to
cover the journey in about 105
minutes.
