India: The first freight train has arrived in Kashmir carrying 1400t of cement from Rupnagar, Punjab, according to the Times of India newspaper. The 21-wagon train covered 600km in under 18 hours, hauled by an electric WAG-9 locomotive. Northern Railways said the arrival demonstrates the capability of the Chenab and Anji bridges and will enable faster bulk movement of supplies to the region. Officials said the service will improve supply chains, decrease transport costs and boost industrial activity to support infrastructure projects.
