Tried to spot these beauties on my recent trip to Malaysia. I spent about 10-15 minutes at the station, but couldnt ;-(

Oppss...sorry for the mistake. KL Sentral is for monorail. I think KL station is opposite KL Sentral right?

Does Kuala Lumpur Station and KL Sentral the same?

Do they have seperate crew here, or is the loco MU'd with cables running through coaches.

Those seem to be refregerant pipes.
That will imply that the compressor is placed seperately, probably like a car/minibus Ac, and mechanacilly driven by the main engine with a electromagnetic clutch to couple un-couple it.

Why do they have a loco placed in the middle of the rake.

BE-MGS pass now goes upto Prayag only. This along with HW-ALD and 1PRL use the middle line while going to LKO as they take the longer route via PBH. Rest of the trains like Triveni, Ganga Gomti, etc., take the left line via UCR. Yes BSB can be connected to CNB by the bypass line but as of now only goods bound mainly to UCR NTPC are allowed on that bypass line.

do these workers have any kind of life insurance covered by IR?

@Mani...IIRC Triveni and Bareilly-MGS pass go via Pratapgarh, so should take middle line. Others might clarify. rgds.
