I have a question.. if any NCR fan can answer ... If Gatiman and Bhopal shatabdi r allowed to run at 160 and 150 respectively... Why aren't Rajdhanis r allowed to do that !!??.. nd i remember once Mumbai rajdhani was allowed for 140 but then again lowered down .. what's the reason ?

2 compliments
Agree Thanks
2 reasons
1. Train Length
2. Hauling Loco
Gatimaan and Bhopal Shatabdi both are allowed to go 160 and 150 kmph because they are hauled by WAP 5, which is the only loco in IR that is officially cleared to hit those speed, the train length reason is almost related to Loco only that IR has cleared only 18 coach length train to hit
...
more...
above 140kmph and only 12 coaches train to hit 160 kmph, mind it that these restrictions are only for loco Hauled trains not for Trainsets such as Vande Bharat, and since all the Rajdhanis are having load above 18 coaches and are hauled by WAP7 locomotive that's why they are not allowed to hit above 130 kmph. Mumbai Rajdhani had a very brief tenure for running at 140kmph that was I guess on trial basis.
