Southern Railway gets first solar panel fitted coach
Salem: Marking a red letter day in green energy initiatives of the Southern Railway, a coach powered by solar roof panels was operated on a trial basis in Salem on Thursday.
Southern Railway general manager Vashista Johri flagged off the solar paneled coach attached to an inspection rake during his visit to Salem. The trail run was successful and the 'Go Green coach' would soon be attached to Coimbatore - Mayiladuthurai Jan Shatabdi express, said railway authorities. This is south India's first solar panel fitted coach.
"The single coach fitted with solar panels was attached with the inspection rake and observed. We were satisfied. In Jan Shatabdi Express, the coach would be operated on a trial basis and subsequently we may go for solar panel fitted coaches for the entire train,'' said a railway official. Railway authorities would seek clearance from the Commissioner of Rail Safety shortly to go ahead with the move.ET Energy world
