there is something called as "safety margin" which has to be kept while designing anything; railway coaches are no exception to that, as slight over speeding is bound to happen.
However 145 seems too much, and chances are that coach was designed in a different way, which permitted such speeds. the current ICF coaches can support 120 or so, but keeping safety margin in mind are restricted at 110

Is it so? It means that even the AC LHB Coaches used in Non-Rajdhani trains are not 160 Kmph as the Raj Exp versions... right? :-)
that depends sir. If its a conventional LHB (i.e. non-self generating) its speed certificate would be of 160 KMPH only, However in SG LHB AC (Hybrid LHB, with LHB shell and ICF bogie) depending on route the speed is restricted to 105/130 KMPH.
Being Self generating means that it would have generators to generate enough electricity for AC's to run, which are quite heavy. As such the certification would be different, as the load borne by the tracks when such coaches pass by at high speed is different.
