AC rake as in you mean -- Air conditioned ?? OR Alternating Current ??
AFAIK - Calcutta metro runs on Third Rail DC technology. (like B'lore metro)

The loco has two prime movers and hence two sets of gauges.

Dear Arzan, Sriram & Deep,
Really fantastic coverage on these aspects. Very different this time and very innovative. Especially, steam pics are priceless. Good job all.

* Look how cleanly the loco has gone inside the coach. Wonder how the loco survived so little damage

* Jimmy, at the time of impact Mewar express had started to move. It seems Goa Exp LP must have seen the track ahead and would have tried to stop the train implying impact at a lower relative speed.

* GZB 22723 is the ill-fated WAP-4.

This portion of the track was washed off in a flood early this decade. In fact they prepared a temporary line beside the embankment and ran Sealdah-Lalgola trains.
