Central Railway introduces first underslung AC local to enhance commuter experience

Mumbai: The Central Railway is set to introduce its first air-conditioned local train with an underslung motor and electrical system—where key components are fitted beneath the coaches instead of inside them. Central Railway introduces first underslung AC local to enhance commuter experience Painted in a striking blue-and-silver livery, the AC rake is currently stationed at the Kurla carshed, undergoing extensive testing and inspection before its official induction. Greater efficiency The underslung system, already in use on Western Railway’s AC locals, enhances stability and optimises space by placing the train’s motors and electrical equipment beneath the rake. Expanding the AC local fleet Anticipating increased demand for AC trains this summer, Central Railway is expanding its fleet with a seventh AC local.
