Tq soo much bro The Great Indian Railways s always our Biggest PRIDE 🇮🇳❤️🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃

[@sbmallik2]

A very well narrated video. I lived in Bombay during the nineties and travelled by this train often. Still remember the rumble of dual Alcos. Yes WCAM2 provided a solution till the DC traction got replaced.

[@TheTrainStory]

I have warm memories too...😊

[@AmeghakAmeghak]

The rajdhani when started that time AC loco or DC loco hauling...?

[@sbmallik2]

@@AmeghakAmeghak - the train was hauled by ALCO twins (WDM series) in the beginning due to the change in traction voltage after Virar. During late ‘90s dual mode electric locos (WCAM) were used as well. But now they are hauled by standard WAP series loco as Bombay suburban traction has been converted from DC to AC.

While we all await Rajdhani to be converted to MU Trainset, IR is on it's high on weed mood is all set to change the Rake to the useless 3AC Tejas Rake

[@TheTrainStory]

I think the RCF has manufactured Tejas cars in excess, the extra cars are being put to Rajdhani duties 😄

[@shivansh12951]

I absolutely agree with you. Atleast someone said this, we all need T20s and T18s and not Tejas

[@2005akshat]

Agree with you Saurabh, it's like Snatching away the identity of Rajdhani Express!

[@Abhinandanabhi1212]

@@2005akshat Very true!! On the identity part, I strongly support your thoughts.. one thing is for sure, earlier during 70s - 90s Rajdhani was distinguishable from the crowds of other trains, but now evry other train has ditto same livery (Red LHBs).. Add to that Tejas humiliation..

[@AbhinandIgnitius]

The Trivandrum Rajdhani still continues the tradition of Mumbai Rajdhani where its hauled by WAP 7 from Delhi to Vadodara and ERS/GOC WDP4D from BRC to TVC.An excellent video.Could u pls do a history of Rajdhani trains in india?

[@sanjeevaniganjoo3952]

Nice video and graphics. In earlier days, during its starting, Rajdhani express was a very good train in terms of food and comforts. Nirula's catering from Delhi and Taj catering from Mumbai served best foods. Now catering is very poor and services are at par to any other express trains.

[@AmitPrabhu2000]

Menu is really pathetic. They are serving the same third class paneer curry for ages.

[@AbhishekSanyalTGV]

The train was allowed a max speed of 130 Kmph in 1971. It's 2022, and the max permissible speed is 140. That's just a sad change in over 50 years

The Third one instead of going vis gujarat takes a detour and goes via Madhya Pradesh

[@dexterpereira3877]

Awesome. I just love our trains. Diesel locomotives are my favourite. Also a bit biased towards the WAP7. I just wonder what would happen if the WAG9 would be tweaked to a top speed of 160 kms and used for passengers trains

[@himanshuchaudhary27]

WAG9 can't take that speed of 160km/h with only 24 coaches. They are designed for high load, if the loads are not enough they will be highly unstable.

Excellent video, i remember the iconic double WDM of Rajdhani... It was unapologetically loud and awesome.. i miss the sound of it.. those days 12951 Rajdhani didn't have halt at Borivali or Surat... It was Bombay Central - Vadodara - Ratlam - Kota - NDLS.. infact if i recollect Ratlam and Kota were technical halts and didnt even have Remote Location Quota... 12953 August Kranti BCT - NZM was the so called slower rajdhani.. Make a video on Iconic Punjab Mail... Edit - it was 2951 and 2953 then...

WAP-1 never hauled Rajdhani from Bombay itself, it cannot run under DC traction. Even though whole route got electrified, Mumbai Rajdhani was hauled by twin WDM-2 from RTM till 95.

[@TheTrainStory]

I never said WAP1 hauled from Bombay. I said from “Delhi” 😊

[@swostiranjanroutray6776]

Since when LHB of Rajdhani express started??

[@nishant.verrma]

U deserve more than u r right now 🙂

[@SRINIVASREDDYMSRAILCLICKS]

Already now there is push-pull mode to increase the acceleration by two wap7 s

[@TheTrainStory]

A push-pull option with locos at either end can be a stop gap arrangement until trainsets are available to takeover. I am sure that the Railways must be thinking on similar lines Loco hauled trains (even the push-pull ones) will never match the energy efficiency or quick acceleration and braking that multiple unit trainsets will bring to the table. Yes there is a lot of nostalgic emotional attachment to loco hauled trains.

[@mohsinkola6040]

Speed of Rahdhani should be 140 right now

[@TheTrainStory]

Once the DFCs are complete, speeds are likely to be increased. Expect a < 12 hour journey time on Mumbai-Delhi route

[@saurabhkhatate85]

The travel time which u mentioned of 19 hrs til the yr 2018 is wrong. I travel in Rajdhani in 2012 for the 1st time with WAP5 hauled. It was taking 15.35 hrs. Before that too it was taking this time. I believe this travel time if from 2003-2004

[@TheTrainStory]

I didn’t say travel time was 19 hrs until 2018. I said “in 2018 travel time was reduced to 15.35 hrs” The years you mention (2012), the Rajdhani was indeed < 19 hrs. Time was brought down to ~17 hrs by 2003-2004.
