Yes BG.. Earlier the only CLW made WAG-7 used to be in WAP-4 shells and the BHEL WAG-7's used to be that flat faced ones or the WAG-5 types. Now both CLW and BHEL WAG-7's will have WAP-4 shells.

My dream ICE between SA-RMM:
As there is no proper day time connectivity between MDU and Salem also no daily exp except MYS-TN...This will give daily day time connectivity from RMM to KRR,SA which has only one weekly service(RMM-OKHA)...
So that bus lobby can be avoided..

The whole system is fraught with corruption.The vendors may have many mouths to feed and even honest ones will eventually strive to pocket a few extra bucks.Totally understandable.We should use our better financial status to aid such people,rather than whining about 2 rupees here and there...

A meeting of the civil society members and top-brass of SR might bring about some reprieve for passengers in the region. Various organisations from COIMBATORE, including the Divisional Rail Users Consultative Committee , The Indian Chamber of COMMERCE and Industry and The Coimbatore Railway Struggle Committee attended the meeting with Mr.Rakesh Mishra, GM, SR,. at SALEM on Tuesday.
This is SR GM's first visit to SA after he took over the post.
Besides some of long standing demands, including re-routing of 9 trains to pass CBE by July 2013 when new time table comes to force,the members also had a new set of demands.
In the absence of any new train announcements from CBE-SBC, CBE-TVM and additional trains

to MAS, The trains which are skipping CBE, if re-routed through the same, would be of immense help to the passengers from Mettupalayam and The Nilagiri', besides CBE City itself as CBE Jn is the most proximate broad-gauge rail head that connects these towns to the rest of country.
