- Tall Double Stack Train of 45x2 Set of Containers towed by a Single 3100 Horse Powered ALCo WDG3A left me in total surprise. The power of an ALCo can never be underestimated, it can really do wonders. Double Stack Container train hauled by a single ALCo furiously chugs through Taj Nagar on the Rewari - Delhi Cantonment Section heading towards Gurgaon Concor Container Depot hauling Tons and tons of metal all alone.
Route followed by trains from NCR (Gurgaon) is Rewari ,Ringus, Phulera, Ajmer, Palanpur, Samakhiali, Gandhidham, Mundra Port and Pipavav Port.
INDIA'S FIRST double-stack train was flagged off by former Minister of Railways Laloo Prasad Yadav on March 23 2006. Starting from the Kanakpura Inland Container Depot near Jaipur in Rajasthan, the train ran to the Arabian Sea port of Pipavav in Gujarat, a distance of 950 km. THE route was later extended up to Gurgaon in Haryana.
Train length is currently limited to 45 wagons by the length of passing loops, equivalent to 180TEUs. Maximum speed is 75 KPH. At present the service can only accepts 8ft 6in boxes.
CONCOR : Container Corporation of India ltd.
Location : Taj Nagar, Haryana State, Northern Railways.

That statement "The power of an ALCo can never be underestimated, it can really do wonders ." A man doing hard labour, that's the sound of an ALCo. It's more humane as a machine
I cant imagine a single 3300 HP loco hauling this many fully loaded containers and even more importantly braking with that much weight pushing the loco on a downhill. My guess is that it is empties returning to the depot.
real nice-got a lot of doublestacks here in the USA
BNforever2009 I have watched many videos of Double stacks in USA , thanks for watching :)
JarJarBinks Indians use wide gauge track. So,a lower C.G.
I was Afraid in the beginning what if the containers move from it place but i was surprise & love to watch the colorful containers Indian railways always Rocks........!
whoa...brave WDG3A taking on such a huge load..awesome catch!!
Amazing power show by alco there, i've seen only single stack 45 cars formation but this was superb, kudos to your effort !!
North American container trains use well wagons to sink the containers below wheel level. This train seems a lot taller.
Excellently picturised Harris! loved it! great work
Hard work for one Alco. I enjoyed the comedy touch of the old fashioned brake van on the end.
Richard Turner Thanks for watching :)
superb action and well captured :)
Ashok Belur Thank you Nagavali :)
Привет дорогой друг. Я обалдел у вас в Индии то же поезда ходят в два этажа. Как в Северной Америке. Отличное видео. Удачи.
Александр Морозов Thank you so much :)
Cool Doublestacks
those are super tall.
Sorprendente tren de la India...¡ una sola locomotora!.
Man , India doesn't play around
nice sound of engine.
Fantastic Capture Indeed !!!
Supppeerrrbbb take. U must be lucky to watch & shoot this. Lovely shoot. I got worried & frightened initially but I enjoyed later. Thnks for this.
Milind Marathe Thanks a lot , I was totally in for a shock seeing the single ALCo performing a mamoth task !
Amazing 👍
ALCo Power....That was 90 containers hauled by single WDG3A...I'm sure DLW will come up with Higher HP ALCo's (Modification) in the future....btw Loved the chugging and smoking even though It was struggling...this video has amazedl me...Nice Capture...Keep it Up
Great. - Rajanish Joshi
Very nice
Mighty Mite, Thimble and the Million ton worm
wow what a power i think soo one cart must weight approx 20 tonnes and to pull such bogies is not work of any engine expect loco diesel😃😃
Indian railways 💪💪👍👍🤟🤟
That loco is insane !!👌
Awesome
superb capture. enjoyed full run.
Awesome Chugging...s WDG3A LDH ROCKS
mast
I love this alco thump#
mind blowing video !
Great creation sir and video all time Great ❤️❤️✌️👌👌
Super Shot.
Wonderful capture! Its raining DSC on YT these days ;)
Ramakrishna K Thanks Ram , looks like many RF's exploring NWR side !
the real power.
Beautiful!
They even have double continar in Illinois
Superb
awesome
Just like Murica '
Those locomotives look so tiny in front of those double stacks! I guess i'm used to seeing bigger engines pulling doublestacks here in the United States.
avrrailfan Also, US railroads use deep-well cars that carry the lower container close to the rails. These are essentially modified flatcars, which is why they appear so tall. India is apparently the only double-stack operator that does it this way.
Double thanks.Looks like those Australian Double stack Containers. This will put too much strain on the Engine. The Pacific National Pty.Co.attach 2 Engines at the front and one at the back.
Excellent capture.....how many DS's u got here?.....btw what if that guy on other platform will run away with your small cam? :P
Ujjawal Kashyap Thanks ! Only one DS :( for the entire day ! There was another man sitting on the bench near the camera and I had informed him to keep a watch :)
There is no bridge in this section or no station that has foot over bridge..?? and please tell me that how long is this section..??
AWESOME
WOW!!!!!
Were the containers LOADED or EMPTY ???
+Ameya Naik Lol
Sachyn Sakhardande Containers are loaded and a single loco can pull that load since loaded containers are lighter than bulk freight wagons.
Nice
Amit Patel Thank you :)
Could it handle TTX Wellcars and Spine Cars mixed with the standard flat double stack flatcars?
What an engine
How many stacks are there?
Wow. Poor LDH Alco
Nice 1 Hariya !
Indian Rail Road :)
Wondering how much it weights.
***** As ususal you rocked na ! :)
NICE WINDOWS CONTAINER SCHEME XD
1:30 those containers are taller than the vintage locomotive! I like its engine sound!
Double stack may seem normal and safe in America, but in India, it looks cool and Dangerous (the flat cars may not be able to hold it much longer, and it may not fit in many areas!)
3:29 why do freight trains in India still have brake vans? No other country uses them regularly anymore!
Brake vans are still used during an Emergency to stop the train.
In most other parts of the world including USA, China, UK, Germany and other developed countries all freight trains run on 1435mm, while in India freight trains run on 1676mm which is wider, so practically speaking trains in India are more stable even with double stack, since container size remains constant to comply with norms of other countries of the world.
ya know if you were to make passenger cars that tall you could fit three levels in for a tri level rail car
MrBnsftrain Because of the broad gauge used in India and Pakistan, trains can carry standard shipping containers double-stacked on standard flat wagons, which is more economical than single containers, but standard gauge railways in North America and elsewhere must use special double-stack cars or well wagons to lower the center of gravity and reduce the loading gauge.[original research?][citation needed] Indian Railways is able to carry containers double-stacked on standard flat wagons at 100 km/h (62 mph)
Can't do this with electric traction !
+gl7rwh35 Pretty sure that these would touch the overhead traction wires ! Not sure if the sunken rakes used in the US would help either !
Indian railway testing tallest overhead panthos for DFC.
Don't China run double stacks under electric wires?
@@DagorDagorathSauron no
Sound ghu ghu ghu ghu ghu ghu
can electrification of line be carried on this route ?
Om kinda late, but Yes they did
wonder what will happen if this thing tips over
+kaustav ray The containers have a square block of metal underneath on each corners which will sit firmly on the grove of the base and the top of the lower deck container preventing it from falling.
Very Nice.. amazing dedication.. thank you for providing such videos....Noticed.. there are no Electric poles & lines, otherwise double could have been difficult, isn't it?
GK The Dedicated Freight Corridors will be designed to carry such double stack container trains but pulled by electric engines. The catenary will be raised to allow for the double stacking and the locomotives will have long arm pantographs to access the catenary
those containers sit so high, why do they not have "well" cars.

And that's supposed tunnels and under bridges, how?
manthanboeing Don't know about that route but there shouldn't be any tunnels in that.
manthanboeing No tunnels on this route and the FOB's abd ROB's are all cleared for Double Stack container rake on this route !
Ah! didn't know that, thanks.
This route isn't electrified?
Bharath BS Nope, it has to be open sky for Double Stacks to operate.
Yeehh
Sher budha ho giya to kya hua takat to hain ess mein
But they wouldn't enter tunnel and cant be run on electrified route right?
Yes they run only on the dedicated route .Route followed by trains from NCR (Gurgaon) is Rewari ,Ringus, Phulera, Ajmer, Palanpur, Samakhiali, Gandhidham, Mundra Port and Pipavav Port.
Why not assign two ALCOs to haul such a train?
Pravahan Salunke One is sufficient as this is a empty train returning back to the depot. When its loaded it will usually be hauled by a EMD.
Please don't make dual side videos as you did in this video
Om Kalekar Can you tell us the reason why you dint like dual angles?
hi
Begning, containers looking like

180 stack on Tran

Get that slave labor goods out of India as cheap as possible. Get it on the biggest container ships possible and then double stack in the country where the people have lost their jobs. But don't worry they are borrowing trillions from the Rothschild Bankers at compound interest to keep this unsustainable financial catastrophe going a little longer.
sends chills down the spine.
sends chills down the spine.
