Ashish VashishtDoes this mean that the BEML Delhi Metro coaches were being transported by road to Delhi? I remember that the first batch from Korea went by rail. Posted by Guest on 2004 Feb 22 17:36:25 +0000 |

efd@vsnl.comI have noticed that drivers cut off power & notch down to zero when a DM2 enters a tunnel. To prevent smoke from throttleing the passengers in the trailing train I belive . ;-)) Posted by Guest on 2004 Feb 22 16:38:37 +0000 |

Jimmy JoseI remember seeing this in India today. The write up says "fastest train in Indian Rail history". Is this true? The WAP 5's on Lucknow Shatabdi's have done more.. Posted by Guest on 2004 Feb 22 15:01:44 +0000 |

Jayant S (yant@vsnl.com)I think the roof is original all right. I have seen many wagons with similar roofs being used as store sheds on the NR, sometimes with just the grounded body remaining. I suppose they should be of similar vintage as DHR corrugated-roof freight stock, from around 1910 or so. Posted by Guest on 2004 Feb 22 10:04:59 +0000 |

Note the number of the AC coach, 89XXX series (means, it is nearly 15 years old). Just, curious to know, what's the useable life of a coach? I mean, after how many years is a coach normally scrapped / retired? - Sandeep Bhate.
