Greetings everyone. I have a technical question, not sure if "Rail Fanning" is the correct category to use though...
Banker locomotives are used on gradients for safety and operational reasons. Amongst operational reasons, one is to help the leading loco up a gradient at a certain speed, which would otherwise not have been possible.
What if, a banker locomotive is attached to a train that is running on a flat terrain, say on the Delhi to Kanpur track. Will this locomotive not be able to help a train accelerate faster as it starts...

similar experiment already done with 12015/16 NDLS-Ajmer Shatabdi where locomotive used in both directions . In result the time was reduced nearly 20 mins in 440 km journey. As the time reduced was not good, so railway drop this idea.
As the distance between stations are less and between them also so many TSR and PSR , so fast acceleration and retardation are not good because there will be too much jerking.
