Most diesel-electric locomotives use electrical transmission and each wheel is driven individually by a electrical motor, rather than drive shafts. So there is no differential unit on these locomotives.
Unit Trains, Mixed Freight Trains, Intermodal Trains
Its not the speed over the roadbed that counts (all 3 are about the same) but the fact that unit trains do not need to be classified at each intermediary yard that makes them the "fastest".
Unit trains leave one city and end at a second without any stops for switching cars in or out of the train.
Unless you have a 4x4 or 6x6 unit, there is no front differential.
There is no differential on trains as compared to the differential in a car or truck. When going through a turn the wheels go at different speeds because one is traveling further than the other. Without a differential one wheel would be dragged through the turn. The railroad replaces the differential with a tapered tread on the wheel. As the train goes through the curve the taper on the wheels allows for the different rotation speeds.

DEMU is DiEsel Multiple Unit trains.
Yes, the differential pressure switches off the thermopac. Differential pressure switch shut off unit in case of abnormal thermic fluid flow condition.
Trains run on rails which have very gently curves. There is, therefore, little slippage in the wheel on the inside rail.
That will depend on which differential you have. There is more than one. Find the metal tag located under one of the differential cover bolts on the rear end housing.
Memu stands for mainline electric multiple unit trains. That means they are pulled by electric engines instead of diesel engines. They are passenger trains in India.
