Eastern Railway : Photo exhibition organized to mark 100 glorious years of electric traction

Kolkata. As a part of Centenary Celebration on Completion of 100 Glorious Years of Electric Traction over Indian Railways, a photo exhibition has been organized at Eastern Railway Headquarters depicting the significant transformation of Indian Railways with the introduction of electric traction. This vibrant photo exhibition of the historical development of electric traction down the ages has been inaugurated at Eastern Railway Headquarters, Fairlie Place by Shri Milind Deouskar, General Manager/Eastern Railway.

Shri Devender Kumar, Principal Chief Electrical Engineer and other senior officers and staff of Eastern Railway were also present on this auspicious occasion.

The exhibition has three different sections containing photographs of overhead equipment, different types of locomotives and EMU trains. The exhibition not only portrays evolution of locomotives from DC to DC-AC and most modern AC locomotives but also the evolution of EMU trains from DC to AC system. The overhead traction has also undergone a sea change over the years from the first journey of train over electrified route of 1500 Volt DC from Bori Bunder and Thane in 1925 to present day 25 Kilo Volt AC traction.

The transformation from DC traction and DC locomotives to AC traction and AC locomotives and modernisation of OHE (overhead equipment), electric locos and EMU have significantly improved efficiency, sustainability, and operational reliability over Indian Railways.

Eastern Railway has already achieved 100% electrification and with it subsequently marked its identity as a Green Railway Zone.
