That is the rake of Howrah Kalka Express and is basically an ICF rake spruced up interiors. However as economics stand today, getting a new LHB rake is actually economical when you compare safety aspects and comfort to passengers. Hopefully by 2024 IR will convert all its express trains to LHB...

Hi there! IR is working on two similar model trains Train 18 (to be introduced this year) and Train 20 (planned for 2020). Train 18 is an all seating arrangement while Train 20 is a sleeper class accommodation for long distance (Overnight travel). What this means in India is that shorter...

I've raised a technical query, i saw sleepers but no ballast. In my understanding of these systems, it is not a world wide practice (although ballast less tracks exist). Which is my original question and remains so. PS: on point of you getting hurt, please note that i quoted video to support my...

Geo technical studies are on. Construction would begin this year, however project is facing difficulties in land acquisition in Maharashtra.

Will try to find link, but Oil Minister Dharmesh I suppose once mentioned 60 days as near future target.

@Abingdonboy shared this yesterday and about time, these facilities are created.

2 more Phalcon systems could get signed this week raising strength to 5. That would be a big boost in itself.

i noticed one thing that the tracks don't have ballast stones. The train seems to going at pretty good speed and im not sure if it is safe to run at that speed on unballasted track. Can someone please clarify from Pakistan? @Maarkhoor @WAJsal Even new loco design to run at 200 kph are coming...

I suppose an effort has been made in past but owing to political situation, the talks for 3300 HP Diesel Electric locos for 1676 mm gauge fell away. In my view recent purchase of 4400 HP ES 43ACi by PR is a very smart move and these amazing locos will change course of freight transport in...

Oh come on. Don't discredit your team's performance. Absence of Tamim and Shakib was ably madeup by others in the team and you could easily have won final had somebody down the order had sensibility of batting out last 9 balls scoring even 5 runs of those. Team's pace bowlers are very good and...

Ni Hao @Chinese-Dragon :wave: The plain truth is " it is Not". In isolated economies (like we had back in pre 90s era), perhaps it was true but not without implications. If i may say so, its not for the first time that we have felt jitters of rising oil prices except for this time India is...

There is a news report today that India would use some reserve crude purchased previously till either Dollar or crude price cools. I'm not sure if we have a capacity to store reserve for couple of months to be in situation to offset this price shock. Right now we are banking on political...

@Abingdonboy What do you make out of this? I'm sure this is only an offer but would India take chance of signing another big shot deal with Russia whilst running risk of irking Trump.

Magnifique @Vergennes For the reason that next year is going to be general elections in India, we all know where all this has come from and headed to! India's answer to Albert Einstein, Newton, Stephen Hawking (all rolled into one), Rahul Gandhi :jester: might not be able to differentiate...

I haven't gone through all the posts in this thread but if i may draw your attention gentlemen (@BHarwana @Nilgiri @Robinhood Pandey ), there is a direct relation of certain imports that decide the state of currency in India atleast. our problem of purchase of crude and obsession with gold are...

In a maze of posts, yours was a wonderful reply. Appreciate it:tup: on topic: A lot of people on internet confuse Radar cross section as sole criteria for Gen V Fighters whereas a true fifth generation machine would be an optimal combination of parameters you've mentioned. However all this comes...
