Chennai’s First AC Electric Local Train

Chennai is all set to get its first swanky air-conditioned electric local train or EMU. Built by the Integral Coach Factory in the city, the train comes closer to a metro coach. It has automatic doors, LED display for passenger information and passengers will be able to walk from one end of the train to another as it saves space with the propulsion system tucked under the train.

The train would have twelve coaches with little over 1100 seats and has space for nearly 4000 people to stand. There is a buzz in the railway circles that this train would  be launched connecting Chennai and Chengalpattu.
