I was not knowing that in IR selling and purchase of rakes happens at inter-zones, imp news. Thanks
Yes, Zone itself orders for Rake manufacture either at RCF/ICF whenever they need it. Zones pay for the rakes and own 100% maintenance cost. IR doesn't have to do anything for it. When IR announces new train, it is the responsibility of the zone to arrange the Rake for that train.
Ok. Is it not a loss? for one zone to sell it's popular, well patronage, train to another zone, just because ICF is no more manufacturing Garib Rath ?
SWR procured Garib Rath coaches for running 12255/56 YPR - PDY Exp. As the rake was lying idle for almost 5 days, they were running 06511/12 as special train. 12255/56 was not doing well at all. And there was no chance of 06511/12 getting regularized in the budget as IR will not announce any more Garib Raths. Hence SWR decided to transfer the rake to SER.
This is best example of hardworking(06511/2) vs bad luck(12255/6).
