“…Similarly, Forbes, Holt, and Watts (1991) propose an exact solution of LAP with the objective of minimizing the fleet size subject to flow conservation and bounds on the number of locomotives on each arc. Al-Amin, Forbes, and Noble (1999) solve the LAP in two separate stages. In the first stage, they identify the type of locomotive that will pull the train, and in the second stage, they develop the locomotive rosters.…”

“…Wright (1989) addresses the problem of allocating locomotives to trains subject to a fixed train timetable. While Al-Amin et al (1999) use weighting factors to give priority to locomotive types for allocating locomotives to trains, Booler (1980, 1995) models the problem for a single locomotive problem using heterogeneous locomotives. Forbes et al (1991) also model the problem for single locomotive problem using heterogeneous locomotives.…”

Since the appearance of mechanized rail transport systems in England in the 1820s, the railway has developed to a great extent and has become the primary mode of longdistance land transportation for people as well as for bulk material across the world. What began with steam locomotives, gradually made way for diesel and then to electric engines. Over the past couple of centuries, with the increase in importance of the railway to economy, the complexity of railway networks and consequently the decision-making involved with railway organizations have also increased significantly. With a great deal of decision-making involved in managing different aspects of the railway, every decision made by the management of railway organizations has a profound impact on profitability.
