Meanwhile, an American company has been shortlisted for developing a crash-resistant locomotive design for the Railways and subsequently testing the prototype in a real-crash scenario. As part of an enhanced safety measure, Railways have decided to manufacture crashworthy locomotives involving cutting-edge technology. As part of the project, the design for existing diesel locomotives will also be developed and standardised. There are about 8,000 diesel locomotives.
