The jerks in LHB coaches are due to their CBC couplings. This is not at all related to the type of locomotive hauling the train.

Is there any other type of arrangements used other than Bo-Bo in IR?
1. Bo-Bo is unusual for IR, although older WAM/WAG classes were Bo-Bo or B-B.
2. Common wheel configuration is Co-Co. Co-Co means 6 axles in 2 bogies, each axle powered by a traction motor. WAP7, WAP4, WAP1, WAM4, WAG5, WAG9, WAG7, WCAMx, WDM2, WDM3A, WDG4, WDP4B/4D... locos are Co-Co.
3. WDP4 has a unique wheel configuration : Bo1-1Bo. Its bogies look like Co-Co but only axles 1, 2, 4 and 6 (from either ends) have traction motors.
