Indian Railway make over


Converting the our legacy railways in to automated gravity powered systems, keeping the same rolling stock and tracks, can eliminate 90% of locomotives , signals and train control systems, and vastly save on operating expenses.
It is feasible. The level of investment needed and returns summarized too.
While working principles are based on Newton's laws, and duly peer reviewed for science and engineering, the financials are made up story by me.
The papers were sent to also to DFCC and Railway Ministry a couple of years ago to go in to trash, of course.

Amazingly, administrations will first dismiss , out of hand , the technology as " unproven& untested over 20 years" etc.

Following the same technology path adopted by western countries almost half a century ago, it is obvious that either you have to be stinking rich to buy and maintain legacy technologies with marginal facelifts . China being rich could do. But Indians are not. But capital of intellect which they have, they dump aping west. Will we wake up?

Innovation in finance does not add any value to technology .
It is technology which makes financially viable options. Outdated technologies hurt.
