Good news for Indian Railways passengers! Your Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Gatimaan Express travel experiences are set for a massive change. In fact, your train will soon be talking to the wind! Yes, these premium trains will soon be running faster than before courtesy this special, first of its kind, engine. 
To increase speeds of these trains, the Chittaranjan Locomotive Works of the Indian Railways has produced an engine which can zoom at the speed of 200 kilometre per hour.  The locomotive is the first such engine with aerodynamic and ergonomic design and can run at a speed of 200 kmph. Indian Railways will be using this engine to haul all premium trains.  
"Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) has turned out the first aerodynamically designed high-speed WAP-5 passenger electric locomotive on October 24. The engine's design reduces air drag to provide higher speed and more energy efficiency," said the CLW.

At present, the Rajdhani Express has a WAP 7 locomotive with a top speed of 130 kmph while the Shatabdi Express is being hauled by either WAP 4 or WAP 7 engine with a speed of 130 to 140 kmph. On the other hand, the recently introduced and India's first semi-high speed train Gatimaan Express is being hauled by the old design WAP 5 engine which had helped the express to achieve a record speed of 160 kmph.
