Railways holds trial of high-speed Talgo coaches
Aiming to increase train speeds, Indian Railways today conducted the first trial run of Spanish train Talgo between Bareilly and Moradabad with speeds averaging 80-115 kmph. Talgo consumes 30% less energy and can run on curves without decelerating, an official said. It can complete the journey between Delhi and Mumbai in about 12 hours against the present 17 hours.
