| MEALS ON WHEELS |
=OO=========OO=
In the recent past, we have been hearing a lot of complaints on quality and quantity of foods being provided in Indian Railways Trains.

The major reason for this is the exploitation of caterers that the travelling public do not know the Standard Meals Menu that is TO BE PROVIDED by caterers in IR.

I have attached the PDF file of the Standard Meals MENU from Trains at a Glance (TAAG) 2012-13.

I request all the passengers to download the same and keep it handy. Show it to the caterers in case you see a difference in quality and quantity of food provided. Please stand up for Variance.

This small change will slowly intensify and we can definite change in quality and quantity of food provided aboard Indian Railways...

Thanks & Regards

Dear friend, did you tried changing the Session I.D. and Engine I.D. in other browser in order to keep your session active ?
Many people do this in order to keep session active and IRCTC take this as fraudulent / suspicious activity, hence they deactivate the account.
Chances are very rare that you get your account reactivated.
For your booked tickets, you can send them email to send you the same on email and than you can take printout of the same. However if you ever wanted to cancel the ticket in the future and your i.d. is still blocked than you have to send them email for cancellation and your tkt will be cancelled and refund process will be initiated.

Hope this help.

bsl.jpgBlock Limits For stations (usually class 'B') on double line sections in absolute block or automatic block territory (and usually with modified lower-quadrant, upper-quadrant, or MACL signalling) a square or rectangular yellow sign with two intersecting black diagonal stripes, and with the words 'Block Section Limit' is provided 180m in advance of the Home signal; it marks the fouling point of the rearmost trailing points connecting to the station. The acronym 'BSL' may appear instead. The legend faces the station. A single white lamp may appear within the sign through a hole in the sign above the centre.

Why some trains are pulled/hauled by twin/double locos

May 14 (6:06AM)
Blog Post# 750459-9     
amit singh ™ ♥♪ ♫♥**     Added by: amit singh ™ ♥♪ ♫♥**    May 14 (9:30AM)
Few points why KK is hauled by twin locos...
1.The most common reason is the need for additional motive power when a single locomotive is unable to haul the train due to uphill grades, excessive train weight, or a combination of the two.
2.Double-heading is also used on passenger trains when one locomotive could suffice but would not be fast enough to maintain the schedule.
3.More rarely, double-heading is used to guarantee a service when they have been aware of the poor quality of their locomotives, on the understanding that if one engine failed in service, the other would suffice to get the train to its destination.

History of Mandovi Express
This train started by Mr. Nitish Kumar (Rail Minister in 1999) as Mumbai CST Madgaon Intercity. It used to run on the TT of JS. After 2001 Mumbai CST Madgaon Intercity train has been converted in Express train in monsoon by giving more coach and halts. In monsoon by seing the high priority of this express train, they didnt changed it again in Intercity and it renamed as Mandovi Express after the name of longest river in Goa. Its TT has now given to JS. Till now this train is running as Express. Its old loco link was WDM 3a/d of ED/KYN and after getting RSA with Konkan Kanya, both were given WDP4 of Krishnarajapuram(Now WDP4b of KJM). Later on both trains got ISO certified.

Situation 5: Trains from South going to North (Rajdhanis/TN/GT/Kerala/AP/Dakshin/APSK/TNSK/KSK, etc.) – These trains enter Nagpur from Balharshah – Sewagram side. As Sewagram is on the CSTM-NGP-HWH Mainline, these trains enter NGP from mainline itself just like the trains from West-East do. As a result, you can see the above trains on any of PFs at NGP.
.
When they depart NGP, they take a left turn towards Amla / Itarsi side. The passengers in these trains are able to see the diamond crossing on the right side, but they do not cross it as the train is entirely on a different track.
