Mumbai Bandra T - Delhi Sarai Rohilla Garib Rath/12216

nice. But is this fasteset Diesel Garib Rath. ? ? I dont think so..

yes this is the fastest end-to-end diesel hauled garibrath

y it is getting diesel loco ?

the line ahead from ADI is single and unelectrified.........this train takes the Ahmedabad-Ajmer -Jaipur route..instead of the ratlam kota route...this is so because when introduced, this train ran as BDTS-JP garibrath and later was extended till DEE

Diesel line after Ahmedabad so gets diesel link end to end. Should get electric loco upto ADI atleast.

ADI- DEE is fully single track strech?

not sure..........maybe doubled in some streches

this train can get a WAPPIE lik DDR-AII SF Till ADI . .

i guess from ADI TO AII its single. .

around 18 coaches.. will Generator supports that much coaches for cooling ?

yes why not.............there are 2 EOGs and most trains run only with 1 functioning...........the other one is used on the retur journey

Thanks.. again why 2 EOG's are required for train?

single EOG supports upto 10 coaches. Since it has 19 passenger coaches hence 2 EOG

A Slight Change. Its also a FASTEST
But in GR The No. 1 is 12909 GR
Fastest GR Among all/.

is it single line from ADI-AII-JP ?? i thought its just unelectrified !!

Only base location maintains the eog n hence 2 eog required.

This is fastest "DIESEL" hauled GR.
12909 is WAP5 hauled

This train should run wid
BGKT WDP 4 and also 12957/8.

Train belongs to Northern railway. Hence it gets NR loco. Once can expect TKD WDP4B/4D in future

i would be happy even if it got WDP3A Pushpak........it can definitely haul this train at speeds of 120.......right now the train does a 115 range

Yes. How about twin diesel MU? Pune shed does that with many trains. TKD can allocate twin diesel to this and it can touch eveb 125 kmph

And the train crossing 12216 in first pic is 12905 PBR-HWH sf express

21 coaches, is it the longest GR..

19 were the 3ac garib rath coaches and 2 eog's..I dont know which one is the longest..

Even 12909 bdts-nzm GR is 21 coach train..

Yes most probably its the longest.

Yeah both mumbai-delhi garib raths the longest...21 coaches for both..

Fire? how it caught fire

That's the only info I got from the LPs. Will confirm about the cause and post here :)

yes , a news article was also posted on iri about fire in engine of grib rath

Loco is Totally Damaged.. EOG however Detached From Engine...

any further updates..???

oh sad to see this...which loco was hauling this?

I think Loco Should be TKD WDM 3A

book another ticket.

Telescopic benefit on extension of tickets in trains is withdrawn long back. Even extension is done for only II Class and that too with reluctance. You'll have to make fresh booking.

sir in garibraths no telescopy allowed or any other normal exp/premiertrains no extension of current booked ticket is entertained but if after jaipur to delhi if in gr any vacancy is available then consult TTE who wil give u any berth if available ,charge fare between jp-delhi of gr slab accordingly as per ir rules and collect same price from you and provide you extra fare collected slip and accomodation thereafter but no way u can book any extension upon previously confirmed or booked ticket plus if any seats available try to book new ticket from adi-delhi in same train and cancel current one only at ur risk and vacancy

its only having one way mid night halt in falna , return at good timing
many stn across india has most trains arriving mid night
becaz giving falna people cstm connectivity

Nice livery

Both are PQ Quota!!
Its about available berth @ charting for different station combo!!
