	Lovely pic! Btw.. were the advertisers targetting IRFCAns while placing their ads on the bottom of the piers? Posted by Vrijilesh Rai on 2007 Oct 29 10:13:44 +0000
	Frequent stoppages occur in the approach of LKO station. As these lines are busy, goods trains have to restart often on very short notice after stopping. This results in partial release of brakes and hence more resistance to forward movement. The resulting 'jerk' does occasionally cause train parting, which was more frequent here and the Bosses decided to warn the drivers about it.

	BTW, whas is JNPT. i see lot in the forum Posted by Ramesh on 2007 Oct 29 08:27:22 +0000
	Thanks a lot Rajeev but what may be the real reason? As you may be well aware this is a bidirectional twin line. There are signals placed at short distances also. The run on this section is often marred by mixture of red and yellow signals and 1 or 2 incidences of chainpullings also. Posted by Samar on 2007 Oct 29 07:36:19 +0000
	i think the rebuilt locos can easily be identified looking at their headlights...where in normal locos the twin beams comes in usual round plates. Posted by Deepak Murali on 2007 Oct 29 06:28:14 +0000
	Not three years back. As late as Dec 2005, the entire train had Karnavati liveried coaches! Posted by Jimmy Jose on 2007 Oct 29 06:12:07 +0000
	This is the first pic of Doon Exp on the server. This train was regularly hauled by MGS WDM 4 during yesteryears. I have fond memories of the WDM 4 whine, sitting in the 2nd and 3rd compartments. Great to see a LDH WDm working the train now. But it can never replace the romance of WDM 4. Thanks a lot for the pic Posted by Jimmy Jose on 2007 Oct 29 06:07:13 +0000
	This board was installed at this location when a lot of 'train parting' incidences (CBC coupled rakes) were attributed to sudden jerks imparted by quick notching up while starting a goods rake which was not properly 'bunched up' in stationary position.
