Double-stack container trains are redefining freight transportation in India.

Just imagine how many trucks this keeps off our highways and how much diesel it saves.

The best part? This entire train is hauled by an electric locomotive.

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.

The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.

This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.

A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

BLW deserves to be taken up as a serious case study in Indian B-schools, which at times tend to focus only on big-name narratives. While 572 locos is an impressive figure, the more telling detail is the export of 10 diesel locos to Mozambique in the same record yr.

These exported 1s are 3300 HP Cape Gauge (1067 mm) locos.

India’s tracks are Broad Gauge (1676 mm). This means BLW is running a dual-reality assembly line. To hit the record of 572, engineers had to calibrate the precision of the 558 electric giants while simultaneously building narrower engines for a different continent.

BLW is a bespoke tailor for global rail requirements.

I was on a grounded Lufthansa flight in Munich.

A blizzard had closed the airport. We were parked on the tarmac for six hours.

The American tourist next to me finally lost his mind.

"This is a kidnapping!" he yelled. "Why can't they just get a bus? Or open the doors and let us walk to the terminal?!"

I slowly closed my laptop.

"Sir," I stated calmly. "You are requesting a multi-tiered violation of federal law."
He stared at me, red-faced.

"I'm requesting to get off the plane, Lars!"
"It is Dr. Lars," I corrected.

"And no," I explained. "The shuttle drivers have reached their maximum shift limit under the law.

You cannot unilaterally suspend the European Working Time Directive just because you are experiencing mild lumbar discomfort in seat 14B."

"Then let us walk!" he pleaded.

"Absolutely not," I countered.

"Do you possess a DIN EN ISO 20471 certified high-visibility vest? Have you completed the Fraport apron safety briefing? No. You are an uncertified civilian. Releasing you into the snow is a massive liability."

The pilot announced we would be sleeping on the aircraft to respect the local noise curfew.

The American put his head in his hands and groaned.

I proudly reclined my seat by the permitted 2 degrees.

Americans will break the rules in the name of "customer service."

We will happily freeze in an aluminum tube to protect the integrity of the framework.

A beautiful night for the rule of law.

🚆 Z Elbtalu do Ostravy!

Do Prahy dnes dopoledne dorazil naposledy z Německa legendární jídelní vůz (WRmz 815), který léta sloužil na vlaku #Berliner. Děkujeme mu za věrné služby v údolí Labe! 🇩🇪❤️🇨🇿

Ale nebojte, sbohem rozhodně neříkáme. V Praze ho uvidíte i nadále, jen už bude přijíždět z východu, nikoli ze severu. Klasické jídelní vozy totiž nově posilují naši linku do Ostravy. 🍽️

👉A co Berlín? Tam odteď vyrazíte výhradně v nejmodernějších jednotkách #ComfortJet – s vyšší kapacitou, větším pohodlím a samozřejmě i s poctivou kuchyní, jak ji máte rádi. Tak se přijďte svézt! ✨
