LHBfication of trains
As we all know that IR wants to replace the conventional coaches with LHB coaches, but there are many things people are not concerned about
1) The most important is the use of EOG which increases additional diesel cost even though there is a train which runs on a fully electrified route still...

diesel is needed indirectly.
2) As of now we have a good number of HOG WAP-7 but still only BCT Rajdhani and A.K Rajdhani are HOG enabled and by HOG enabled I mean both EOG should be off because even with non-HOG loco like WAP-5 a LHB train still runs with one EOG off. What about the other LHB trains which are not hauled by WAP-7 why such an important thing is still under development.
3) The most important thing is the cost of production which is much higher than ICF rakes, which such costly rakes it would be economical for IR.
LHB rakes are from Germany but I don't think it runs in a similar way in Germany as it runs in India.
