Such intelligent data loggers will have plenty of memory to store events / faults / parametric readings and then relay them back to the centralised server over the GSM data link when the GSM signals are available. So, if the fault does not incapcitate the loco in the ghats, the data on such faults will surely reach the server with some delay.

Data transmission will be poor over GSM as Thull Ghat has poor network coverage.

It is GSM

What is the method of transmission of data from the loco to the central facility? GSM based mobile networks looks like the only option since IR does not have any other wireless network at its disposal. If mobile networks are used, is data sent over GPRS/EDGE or via simple SMSes?

Finally a control desk layout that I've been wondering why CLW never could design! Good work BHEL. CLW has a lot left to learn. Would it be possible to see more pics of this cab? Some controls and other details are not visible.
