The correct word should be 'brakers' - these locos help to 'brake' the heavy trains and not 'break' them into pieces. Excellent photograph.

It should be breakers or brakers?

Breakers is really a rare one! Something worth a watch of WCG 2 before the conversion is expected next Sunday (17th) as per sources from LNL.

Looks like some additional shock absorbers or dampners have been added to the bogies to reduce swings for the coach.

This platform is a PF of normal height only. In fact, this PF is at the same level as the PF-1 of NDLS and the tracks too are at the same level for both the PF's.

The windows are obviously at very low level for this DD coach.

Seats facing in one direction alove reclining seats, as well as being more space efficient. While those facing each other are convenient for groups travelling together, and short distance daily travellers.

If continuous glass windows bus type were directly pasted on structure pillars visiblity would be good for all.
In the end structure member in LHB is only 40mm thick.

Amazing! Good innovation by Rlys. esp to build an Air conditioned DD coach. Well, Alok and Karan seem to be right in terms of Intercity trains.
