Title: An Unsolved Riddle
It is learnt that IR has provided Stainless Steel Pure LHB Coach to:
22461 shree sakti AC exp- Covering 654 km from NDLS to SVDK
12425 NDLS JAT Raj- Covering 577 km from NDLS to JAT
12041
...
more...
HWH NJP SHATABDI- Covering 566 km from HWH to NJP
Apart from the above noted three two short distance popular Duronto is running with Hybrid LHB namely:
1 CSTM Nagpur Duronto----- Covering 835 km from CSTM to NGP
2 NDLS Alahabad Duronto------ Covering 632 km from NDLS to ALD
Now if LHB can be provided for all the above "Short Distance Trains"(Less than 1000 km in all cases) then what is the "Obstruction/Limitation" for providing LHB to the following popular revenue earning trains
1 12277 HWH PURI SHATABDI-------- Covering 500 km from HWH to Puri daily
2 22201 SDAH PURI DURONTO-------- Covering 518 km from SDAH to Puri triweekly
3 12267 BCT ADI Duronto------- Covering 493 km from BCT to ADI daily
4 12205 NDLS DDN AC EXP---- Covering 308 kms from NDLS to DDN daily
Moreover 22313 SDAH SVDK Prm has yet not been started and there is no guarantee whether this will actually start or will get LHB if started.......
In addition to this many other Popular Long Distance mail/exp are in this list running with 25/30 year old ICF coaches...... What will be the fate of those??
LHBs are expensive coaches and are not meant for every train rather for those which have a "Great Demand" all over the year along with high popularity. Before providing LHB to any mail/exp this point is required to be kept in consideration on the part of IR.

Rajdhani trains to have Super AC coaches:
(This article was published in the newspaper "The Hindu" on July 29, 2011)
NEW DELHI, JULY 29:
Spacious and technologically advanced ‘Super AC’ coaches for Rajdhani trains are on the anvil with the Rae Bareli coach factory being asked to undertake the new project.
“The
...

conceptual design for the Super AC coach with just 44 berths is being finalised and instructions have been issued to the Rae Bareli coach factory for manufacturing a prototype,” a senior Railway Ministry official involved with the project said.
At present, the second AC coaches in Rajdhani trains have 55 berths, while there are 72 in third AC coaches.
Though the fare structure for the Super AC coaches is yet to be finalised, it is expected to be higher than the current second AC rates but less than first AC.
The railway coach factory in Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh has been entrusted the task of manufacturing 25 Super AC coaches for Rajdhani trains in the first phase.
“The unique feature of the new coach being designed in Rae Bareli is that it will be more spacious than the existing ones in Rajdhani trains. Later, we may consider it for other mail and express trains,” the official said.
Proposed in the Rail Budget, the new Super AC coach with 44 berths will have wider windows and more leg space, particularly for side berth passengers.
“It is aimed at providing high-end service to passengers with better ambience, more amenities and will also be equipped with a small pantry car,” he said.
The lightweight Super AC coaches will be made of stainless steel and will have all safety features.
Besides the proposed Super AC coach, Rae Bareli factory is currently manufacturing new-generation Linke Holfmann Bush (LHB) coaches.
“Six LHB coaches are ready to roll out from the factory,” the official said.
The LHB coaches used at present in Rajdhani will be converted to "Super AC Coaches" slowly and steadily as per the report.

"SUGGESTION PROVIDING COMFORT TO CHARDHAM LOVERS"
Kedarnath,Badrinath, Hrisikesh and Haridwar are the holy places where all types of people go throughout the year(Peak Season: April to Oct) and the eternal beauty of this pious Chardham also attracts people from all over the world irrespective of cast and creed........
People come here not only rejuvenate themselves from the boredom of daily life hazards......but also restoring their mental purity and satisfaction by seeing the "Sublime Beauty" of this holy Chardaham.
Now
...
more...

If IR can provide an " Superfast AC EXp with selected main stoppages " either from HWH or from SDAH to Dehradun(DDN) or Risikesh or Haridwar directly in biweekly or weekly basis it will be immensely helpful for the Char Dham lovers to go Hardwar more comfortably and within a less amount of time than the three prevalent trains(i.e Doon,Upasana and Kumbh) in this route.
Views & Opinions are welcome.........
Here is the glimpse of main attractions of Holy Chardham

5 Laxman Jhula in Risikesh

"Personal Impression of Mine regarding WAG 9"
Reference: Entry# 1240489 as posted by "Railfan Pragyan".
Subject: VIDEO OF 12245 HWH YPR DURONTO PULLED BY AJNI WAG9 AS SRC WAP4 FAILED IN THE ROUTE.
Very Nice Video.Superb capture by the chap!! The train negotiating the Curve marvelously.

9 can be used by SER to haul Duronto and other mail/exp. Though it is a freight loco but presently it is used to haul Mail Exp in many zones on failure of the "Usual Link" of the concerned Mail/Exp.
Not only this incident, there are many instances where SRC WAP4s failed in the route and WAG9/WAG7 had done the duty........ till the last destination of the train.
Moreover SER should check these old WAP 4s regularly and restore their operating condition as this zone purely depends on these "Red Monsters".
In Future if "White Lions"(p5 & p7) will be permitted by the Zonal Officials and the RailBoard to be housed at SRC Shed then the enormous load of these "Red Monsters" will be reduced to a considerable extent.
Till then SER should keep some WAG9 & WAG7 for providing accidental support to the existing "Red Beasts".
The last picture is of the new version WAG 9H prepared by CLW
