Fellow Members of IRI,for the First Time 12952 Mumbai Rajdhani touches 140kmph mark in the NDLS-MTJ Route.
Overspeeding WAP5 20 Coach Mumbai Rajdhani Rattles Asaoti in 13 seconds at speed nearly equal to 140.
12952 Mumbai Rajdhani welcomes back the speed zone Asaoti (after 5 months of TSR) in KING STYLE ie. in the most blasting fashion.Led by the mighty GZB WAP-5#30030 ,the 20 Coach Mumbai Rajdhani blasted past this station in full aggression and literally shook me from top to bottom.
20...
more... coaches disappears in 13 seconds,was perhaps doing around 138-140 kmph speed as per repeated calculations and timing.
Calculations:-
1)Length of LHB coaches including buffer:- 24.70m
2)Length of WAP-5 including buffer:- 18.18m
so we have 20 LHB coaches so :- (20*24.70),then adding the length of WAP5,to find the total length of the train :- ((20*24.7)+18.18),now time taken to cross was 13 seconds exact.
So:- (((20*24.7)+18.18)/13 seconds )*3.6(to convert the speed into km/hr) =141 kmph speed approx.
