ReplyDeleteYes. ZCU lover
DeletePakistan railway fastes locomotive is Geu40 and after that Age30 . Zcu30 is great in term of speed but maximum speed 140km/h written in zcu30 loco .
ReplyDeleteAcceleration of Age30, zcu30,geu40 or hgmu30r was excellent. In the small powers which are run in pindi sections Geu20 is more faster one than the others. In fact after geu40, geu20 is 2nd most fastest among the others
