WHY Railway wont increase to coaches of trains between pune to mumbai.
As there is always Rush
As there is always Rush
as far as my knowledge, there is steep gradient in pune cstm section, thats y they dont hav more than 8 to 11 sleeper coaches nd 3 to 4 ac coaches for most of the trains running in this section. for some trains where we hav more coaches they use extra engine.
Maximum number of coaches can be 21 in the pune to cstm sector probably due to operational constraints
Anyone having idea why the max allowed coaches in Mumbai-Pune section is only 21 while there are 24 coach train running in Mumbai-Nasik route?
Pls see blog entry # 124938-1. Mumbai-Pune route unlike Mumbai Nasik route has steep gradients which make it difficult for locos to haul trains with a large number of coaches.
Mumbai-Nasik route is equally steep. Igatpuri Station on this route is at height of 589 meters while Lonavala on Mumbai-Pune route is 623 meters.
