The Ministry of Railways is examining trial run of the fastest train at 150 kilometre per hour speed buoyed by the successful run of such a speedy train by the Konkan Railway in December 2002.

The details of such fastest trains will be worked out after a final decision in this regard is taken.

The locomotive used in the trial run of such a train by the Konkan Railway was imported from M/s General Motors Corporation of the USA. Diesel locos of similar capabilities (4000 Horse Power) are currently under manufacture in Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), Varanasi.
