Locomotive failures, or ‘loco failures’, are disruptions in train operations due to mechanical or electrical issues within the engine. These can cause significant delays and safety concerns.
To address loco failures, Indian Railways has developed a Loco Failure Reporting Web Portal, which standardizes reporting and helps in quick diagnosis. Additionally, regular maintenance, real-time monitoring systems, and skilled crew training are crucial.
With these measures, Indian Railways aims to minimize downtime and ensure smooth journeys across the nation’s vast rail network.
