My Observation:

Please Note the Line in the above News: "In this meet, special focus was given to enhance reliability of 3-phase electric locomotives provided with latest IGBT technology based equipments." Already in /blog/post/1663190 we have come to know that 3-Phase Era has begun in CLW. CLW has stopped the Production of all Conventional Loco(i.e WAP-4 & WAG-7) Permanently. So this Loco Reliability Meet with the Heads of all Zonal Railways is "Meaningfully Significant" now.
