Subject: Fastest non-Rajdhani/Shatabdi run
Date: 23 Sep 1998 06:48:45 -0500
I was wondering about the fastest non-Rajdhani/Shatabdi runs on IR.
I could think of the following 3:
1. Poorva Exp - Mughalsarai-Allahabad -> ~98 kmph
2. (Many trains) - Vadodara-Bharuch -> 87.5 kmph
3. Jammu Tawi Exp - Mathura-Sawai Madhopur -> 87 kmph
Any others?
Regards,

Shouldn't this be more like 80 kmph? 153 kms. in 1 hr. 55 mts.
>2. (Many trains) - Vadodara-Bharuch -> 87.5 kmph

Many of the sections in the Delhi-Mumbai/Howrah trunk routes have 80+
speeds. Examples:
- Jammu Tawi Exp. - Nagda-Kota -> 86 kmph.
- Jammu Tawi Exp. - Kota-Sawai Madhopur -> 82 kmph.
- Poorva Exp. - Tundla-Etawah -> 92 kmph.
- Poorva Exp. - Durgapur-Asansol - > 82 kmph.
Many sections in the Delhi-Bhopal section approach 80 kmph. One of them
goes beyond:
- GT Exp. - Gwalior-Agra Cantt -> 82 kmph.
Of course, recovery/engineering times screw up certain sections and
favor others depending on where they are alloted. So a true picture
emerges only when one looks at the Working TTs and considers the actual
running times. For example, none of the above mentioned sections
contain any appreciable recovery times for those trains. On the other
hand, the Gitanjali Exp. has a running time less than 3 hrs. 45 mts.
from Igatpuri to Bhusaval (>82 kmph.) but because of the
engineering time alloted between Bhadli and Bhusaval it seems to take 4
hrs. and the speed drops down to 77 kmph. That's just a snapshot of the
sad state of affairs in IR - commercial speeds being adversely affected
by an overdose of engineering/recovery times.

Recovery times are usually heavy at inter-divisional hand-off points,
and
heaviest at inter-railway hand-off points. Case in point: Mathura,
which is
a WR/CR hand-off point. All WR trains heading to Mathura (except maybe
the
Rajdhanis) from EITHER direction have approx. 30 mins of make-up time
built
in. I am curious as to the reason - does the railway picking up the
train
insist that the preceding one provide heavy make-up time? Can anyone
please
enlighten? Similar things can be observed at Mughalsarai (NR/ER),
Wadi(CR/SCR), Vijaywada etc.
The other reason for recovery time is the perennial ongoing repairs and
corresponding speed restrictions. The last time I hitched a
foot-plating
ride on CR, the driver had a list of so many speed restrictions that it
was
theoretically impossible for him to meet the run-time, inspite of
liberal
make-up provision.

Hi All,
Yesterday night I was watching "Extreme Machines" on the Discovery
channel
which featured TRAINS. It was very interesting. Towards the end the
Eurostar was shown for which they said was the longest train in the
world
today, with a length of 1/4 mile.
I am sure some of our Indian Mail and Express trains must be much more
longer than these Eurostar trainsets. Does anyone have any idea?

Hi
I think you will find that Midland Counties have only part 1, 2 and 3
in stock. I have been trying to get all four parts together for
customers in the States and India for a few weeks now....they seem to
be disappearing so I am picking them out from the used book trade
already.
If you see them buy them...dont hang about.

Subject: Munabao link to Pakistan may open?
Date: 24 Sep 1998 08:01:45 -0500
Buried in the mass of other details about discussions on Kashmir and
"confidence-building measures" that India and Pakistan announced
yesterday
in a joint statement was a tiny bit about re-opening the rail link from
Munabao in India to Khokhrapar in Pakistan. The stations are each
currently termini for their respective branch lines, but presumably
through
trackage across the border still exists (perhaps in some disrepair).
On the Indian side, Munabao is connected by MG to Jodhpur, and on the
Pakistani side, Khokhrapar is connected (by MG, I presume) to Hyderabad.
If this works out, we could have a reincarnation of the old Sind Mail
(Ahmedabad-Hyderabad?). I think someone talked about that on this list
a
long time back.

On the Pakistani side the line is MG to Mirpur Khas and BG from there to
Hyderabad, so passengers would have to change trains in MK.
Currently the daily train between Khokhropar and MK (steam-hauled) takes
6
1/2 hours (and 7 hours in the opposite direction). That's assuming it's
on
time, which, given the current condition of the locos and track, is a
dubious proposition. The distance is all of 126 km, so the average
speed,
even if the train does run on time, is less than 20 km per hour.
This service is obviously not very attractive (except for steam-fans!)
and
I don't think PR has much money available for upgrading. But maybe this
will prompt dieselization of the line. PR has no MG diesels so I wonder
whether the current round of 'confidence-building' might extend to using
IR
MG diesels on the line. With all the BG conversions going on in India,
I
assume IR has plenty to spare.
BTW, I hope to meet the Pakistani Minister for Foreign Affairs at a
reception in New York next week, so I'll see if I can get him to comment
about reopening the link !!
There are now reports that efforts to reopen the Bostan-Zhob
NG line in Pakistan have stalled (presumably for lack of funds). There
were some postings about this ambitious project a couple of months ago.

Hmmm, a curious statement. Here in the US we can use radio scanners to
listen to the railroad communications, and we also have automated
"defect detectors" that use infra-red cameras to look for overheating
wheel bearings, and other devices to look for shifted loads or dragging
equipment. These detectors use an automated voice to radio to the train
crew that all is well, plus reports on the train length. I regularly
hear train lengths of over 8000 feet, ie well over one mile long. And
in years past passenger trains were 1500-1800 feet long, also over a
quarter mile. Perhaps they mean longest in the realm of articulated
train sets?

There exists yet another train linking religious centres, between
Okha( Dwarka ) in Gujarat and Jagannath Puri in Orissa.
The train is named as Okha-Puri Exp.It was introduced about 3 years
ago and it provides a direct link between East and West coasts.

Don't worry.Normally there should be no problem of bedrolls on
Rajdhani Exp.I have travelled a number of times between Vadodara and
NDLS / H.Nizamuddin by Rajdhani / AK Rajdhani Exp. trains in 3-tier
AC.Bedding was always provided.In fact sometimes the AK Rajdhani came
to Vadodara much behind schedule and most of the passengers were fast
asleep.Even then there had never been a problem of non-availability of
bed-rolls.
So be assured.Good luck.

the typos.
The trains mentioned as Ratnagiri Express is a misleader for a person
who does not know the region well. The 1065/1066 now 2165/66 runs
between Kurla (Mumbai) and Varanasi and comes nowhere near Ratnagiri
which is a few hundred kms south of Mumbai on the Konkan Rail. Unless
there is a secret plan to actually take this train to Ratnagiri.

Thanks for the good news, Apurva. Pushkar and I have been praying for a
Mumbai-Varanasi superfast though we had hoped for a faster train.

This would definitely be preferred over the Sabarmati Exp. by
Varanasi-Bina/Bhopal passengers.. It is about an hour faster than the
Kurla-Allahabad Exp. so Allahabad-Bina/Bhopal commuters would benefit as
well.

Their make-up times have been transfered from the Nasik-Igatpuri section
to the Bhusaval-Manmad section since they are going to be overtaken by
the new Varanasi-Kurla Exp. and Ratnagiri Exp. in the latter section.

Although the Dn. train has been speeded up by 50 mts. between Igatpuri
and Bhusaval (because the Gitanjali Exp. does not overtake it anymore),
it has been slowed by 1/2 hour between Bhusaval and Itarsi, thus,
cruelly offsetting the advantage of a decent Mumbai-Bhusaval run. After
that it's run times are pretty much the same as before.
The Up. train fares better. It has been appreciably speeded up in the
Igatpuri-Bhusaval (the Gitanjali overtake has gone) and Jabalpur-Itarsi
runs. The Itarsi-Bhusaval run is still disappointing despite the
omission of the Karnataka Exp. overtake.
>As a result of being made superfast the train will halt at Kalyan,
>Igatpuri, Bhusaval, Itarsi, Jabalpur, Satna, Allahabad and Bhadohi
>Stations only.
Seems to be a reasonable halt list. Is Igatpuri a techincal halt?
The omission of Kalyan and Bhadohi would have given this train an
impeccable halt pattern.
The commercial speed is around 57-58 kmph. It is the first ever
superfast train between Mumbai and Varanasi. At present, it is the only
superfast train originating from Varanasi and only the 2nd superfast
train in the Itarsi-Allahabad section (the other being the Gondwana
Exp.). It is the only train to ignore Khandwa and Katni.
