of the fast (up to 100km/hr freight trains, especially on the Mumbai-Delhi route, are informally named 'Con-Raj' (for Container Rajdhani). Some of these even go straight through Vadodara without a halt, with crew changes only at Valsad and Godhra.

CONCOR has obtained several high-speed flat wagons which are rated for service at 100km/h. (These are also known as 'low belt container flat wagons', and abbreviated 'BLC'.) These have several advanced features, such as automatic twist locks, slackless drawbars, and small-diameter wheels allowing a low bed height. These are currently [12/00] in use on the Tughlakabad-Mumbai container route for the Con-Raj trains mentioned above. More are being ordered, under the auspices of a World Bank loan and the IBRD. Newer versions have automatic load sensing devices to allow optimum braking under varying loads. The wagons have a single-pipe air-brake system.

What is EOG??(Detailed answer--akin to 10 marks Question...!)
End on Generation (EOG) is the system used on fully air conditioned Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. The system comprises two power cars per train. Each power car has two DG sets and each DG set is rated at 300 kW. These are mounted inside the power car or the entire power car coach which is dedicated for these power plants. The power generated by these DG sets is utilized for hotel load of the train.

railways and release hauling capacity of locomotives while saving energy efficiency by over 90%.
Release of traction hauled loads can improve average speed of coaches. EOG concept eliminates axle mounted generator and corresponding battery bank and inverter on each coach and replace it with one unit of DG set under the SLR.
