The world’s first double-stack long-haul container train was flagged off from New Ateli, Haryana to New Kishanganj, Rajasthan.
This train is to be operated in the 306-km Rewari-Madar section of the Western dedicated freight corridor (DFC).
One train carries 360 10-feet container equivalent units (TEU), which is equivalent to 270 high capacity trailer trucks.
The speed of freight trains is expected to be increased to a maximum of 100 km per hour (kmph) from the current maximum speed of 75 kmph.
The DFC Corporation of India is currently constructing the Western DFC (1,506 km) and Eastern DFC (1,875 km).
