#LHB Wheels

[blaiddfailcam]

Thinking of replaying Bloodborne this week, but I can't decide on a build/theme. I think the only one I haven't done is Str/Arc, oddly. I haven't much used Kirkhammer, LHB, Stake Driver, or Logarius Wheel before, so maybe it would be fun to start a new save and see where that takes me...

LHB Bogies: A Safer and Smoother Ride

What are LHB Bogies?

LHB (Linke-Hofmann-Busch) bogies are a type of railway coach bogie, a chassis that supports the wheels and other components of a railway coach. They were developed by the German company Linke-Hofmann-Busch and are now widely used in many countries, including India.

Key Features of LHB Bogies:

Anti-telescopic Design: This is the most crucial feature of LHB bogies. In case of a collision, the bogies are designed to crumple and absorb the impact, preventing the coaches from telescoping into each other. This significantly reduces the risk of casualties and injuries.

Higher Speed Capability: LHB bogies are capable of operating at higher speeds compared to conventional ICF (Integral Coach Factory) bogies. This allows for faster train journeys and improved travel times.

Improved Passenger Comfort: LHB bogies offer a smoother and more comfortable ride for passengers due to their advanced suspension system. This reduces the impact of track irregularities on the coach, resulting in a more pleasant journey.

Lower Maintenance Costs: LHB bogies are generally easier to maintain and have lower maintenance costs compared to ICF bogies. This is due to their simpler design and the use of higher-quality materials.

Benefits of LHB Bogies:

Enhanced Safety: The anti-telescopic design of LHB bogies significantly reduces the risk of casualties and injuries in train accidents.

Faster Travel Times: LHB bogies allow for higher train speeds, resulting in faster travel times and improved efficiency.

Improved Passenger Comfort: The smoother ride provided by LHB bogies enhances the overall travel experience for passengers.

Lower Maintenance Costs: LHB bogies are more cost-effective to maintain, reducing operational expenses for railway companies.

The Indian Railways and LHB Bogies:

The Indian Railways has been gradually replacing its older ICF coaches with LHB coaches. This transition has been a significant step towards improving safety and passenger comfort on Indian railways. The introduction of LHB coaches has also helped to modernize the Indian railway network and enhance its competitiveness.

Conclusion

LHB bogies are a significant advancement in railway technology. Their anti-telescopic design, higher speed capability, improved passenger comfort, and lower maintenance costs make them a valuable asset to any railway system. As the Indian Railways continues to expand its fleet of LHB coaches, passengers can expect safer, faster, and more comfortable journeys.

Wheels on Tracks… #icf #loco India runs on one industry in large. Economy of India can also be understood with the commute in trains. Be it passenger, freight, mail trains, tourism or army etc etc. Everything is managed by one man army Indian railways. Here I am standing beside this beautiful ICF coaches (Integral Coach Factory) production of which is located in Perambur, Chennai state in Indian State Tamil Nadu, since 1955 and it’s operation is taken care by Indian Railways. Soon all ICF coaches will be converted into LHB Coaches (Linc Hofman Bush). Well train fans will certainly affected with the change as emotion of rail fans are certainly different. But as we say change is inevitable so we need to except the coming power to Indian railways with growing standards. Although I feel we need to work on finishing more and also technology used. And travel enthusiast you guys must board this train which runs from Banihal to Baramulla…wandering with Himalayan range while travelling with the journey in passenger train. The most beautiful journey with changing season. Some new updates will come soon connecting in Kashmir valley and right now it is detached in connectivity with other states of India by train but soon that gap is going to be bridged. Meanwhile you guys wish to enjoy the passenger train in Kashmir valley do watch our vlog on our YouTube channel.

Guess Who is the Best LHB Bogies Supplier in India? Pros & Cons.

Summary: Linke Hofmann Busch trainers are Indian Railways passenger trainers built by Linke-Hofmann-Busch of Germany and mainly manufactured by the Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala, India. They have been used since 2000 to 5 ft 6 in a wide network of Indian railways. LHB trainers can travel much faster than ICF trainers. The maximum allowable speed for LHB trainers is 160 kmph, while ICF trainers are allowed to travel at a maximum speed of 110 kmph. LHB trainers are 1.7 meters taller than regular ICF trainers, which enhances their resilience. Jupiter Wagons are the best LHB bogies supplier in India.

Introduction:

LHB Trainers on Indian Railways: To strengthen passenger safety, Link Hofmann Busch (LHB) trainers have been introduced on the Indian Railways network. Recently, the Minister of Railways Piyush Goyal informed Parliament that between 2009 and 2014, only 1,866 LHB trainers were made by Indian Railways production units, some of whom are regular trainers of the Integral Coach Factory (ICF). According to the Minister of Railways, professional German LHB trainers have a better safety record than coaches who make up the ICF. Goyal went on to say that between 2014 and 2019, a total of 9,932 LHB trainers were produced and over the past two years, the national transport operator has suspended production of ICF trainers. and better than regular ICF-design train trainers. Unlike the train trainers that make up the ICF, LHB trainers offer a higher carrying capacity, have a higher speed capacity, and have less weight and have higher codal health. In addition, LHB trainers also boast better safety features compared to ICF design trainers. In addition to these features, LHB trainers also have antiseptic features that prevent trainers from accumulating during train accidents. A few months ago, it was reported that the ICF released its 3000 trainers this year in less than nine months. Also, it was previously reported that the record was registered by the ICF with the release of 2,222 LHB trainers over a period of 8 months and 11 days in the current financial year.

LHB Coaches:

Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) design trainers are heavier, have higher handling power, higher speed power, increased code life and better safety features compared to Integral Coach Factory (ICF) design trainers. LHB passenger trainers traveling over Indian Railways (IR) are designed with the safety features required when considering Indian Railways operating conditions. However, in order to provide passengers with a safe and comfortable journey, the government has decided to replace the standard ICF trains for Mail / Express trains into LHB design trainers in stages. LHB Passenger Trainer Trainers on Indian Railways are designed with the safety features required when considering Indian Railways operating conditions. The Indian Railways’ Rail Coach Factory (RCF) Kapurthala has produced 151 Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) trainers in July.

This is one of the best balanced draft gear available in the market.

LHB Coaches Manufacturers in India

Jupiter Wagons are the leading suppliers of Linke Hofmann Busch coaches. They are manufacturers of all types of train vehicles, train trainers, train trainers, connectors, connectors, trains, trains, metal handling, gears repair, manganese steel crossings. When it comes to freight trains, even if you don’t cross the loop line for the same reasons. However, the freight train, BOX, BOXN, BOXN-HL will be 11 to 15 meters long. Typically, carts in a single wheel can be from 40 to 150 feet [40 to 58 m] high depending on the length of the boxes. Thus, a freight train can have 58 carriages and a passenger train can only have 24 trainers.

Conclusion:

Jupiter Wagons provide train body parts as well as train and train trainers in India. They offer state-of-the-art train body services at an affordable price. They are the makers of Rail Premium in India

After a rather enjoyable trip of Chennai of a week, during which I met my maternal grandparents, relatives and friends; it was time for me to return to Mumbai – again by train! Oh, and for my account of my train journey from Mumbai; please refer https://ashwinkumar1989.online/2017/11/22/a-two-night-sojourn-to-chennai-part-1/ and https://ashwinkumar1989.online/2017/11/23/a-two-night-sojourn-to-chennai-part-2/ . This time, I took 11042 MAS CSMT express on Nov 25; which departs from MAS at 12 20 and reaches CSMT at 13 35 (I would get down at Thane) – this would enable me to rest for more than half a day at home before the usual Monday morning blues (heightened after a one-week holiday!) . As always, please refer to the legend at the bottom for all technical terms and station codes (not all, mind you!) . Non-railfans and purist railfans, I warn you in advance that this blog will contain a LOT of loco numbers and other technical stuff! Also everyone, this is so long that I have to split it into 3 PARTS so that it doesn’t get boring! 😛

After brunch, I left home by 11am and took an Ola auto to reach MAS by 11 30 without much ado. One look at the giant digital display board told me that 11042 was berthed on Platform 9. On PF 6, 22602 SNSI MAS superfast was resting with APU-fitted TNP WDM3As 16084R and 16853R; while on PF 8 a shining LGD WAP4 22322 was resting – according to railfan Jyothish K it had brought in 12696 TVC MAS superfast.

My coach S8 was a very old 1996 old make, but surprisingly had mobile charging sockets in all bays and even bio-toilets at one end! :O It was 5th from the loco – AJJ WAP1 22011, and I had a trackside window seat LB 😉 .

From PF 3, 22637 MAS MAQ West Coast express departed at 12 05. On PF 8, 12608 SBC MAS Lalbagh express arrived at 12 19 (4 mins late) behind RPM WAP7 30332. One of its 2 AC Chair Cars was a 2015 make, and it had 3 Deen Dayalu coaches (1 2017 made). We departed at 12 25 (5 mins late) after sounding 2 LT horns. For a while, there was parallel action with the rake of 22602 which was being shunted – its front SLR had broken shutters despite being 2015 made 😦 . Near BBQ Coaching Depot, I saw a 20 lever Cabin; and a Train Care Centre in the distant right. On a siding was TNP WDM2 16885 in GOC livery (maybe to be transferred to GOC?). As always, the BBQ ETS was home to a variety of locos – RPM WAP7s 30367 and 30413, ED WAP7 30573 (First time I had ever seen an ED P7! ), LGD WAP4s 22663 and 22515; and AJJ WAP1 22021. Not a single ED/RPM WAP4 though – times have indeed changed! :O

There was a PSR of 30 kmph before BBQ. I also saw Don Bosco Higher Secondary school before VPY. There was a TSR of 30 kmph before Villivakkam – there I saw a road with name “Loco Scheme Ist Street”! :O I guess it is a railway colony! Near Korattur there was a lake full of moss. By now we were galloping and the continuous honking (the two LT horns and a rarely used HT whine) was a treat to the ears, accompanied by mild flat wheel sounds coming from the rear of the coach :P. There was another dirty moss-filled lake near Ambattur. As we crawled through Avadi, I could see the Tube Products of India factory in the right. I also saw the Madras College of Pharmacy and 2 Kalyana Mandapams before a WAG9 hauled BOXN rake crossed us (a cue to the freight action to follow). After the line to PTMS branched off to the distant right, a Tigerface WAG7 hauled express crossed us – probably 16054 TPTY MAS express.

The surroundings became more rural from hereon. I observed Jaya College and Vivekananda Vidyalaya, and a Tigerface WAG7 hauled BOXN freight at Veppampattu. There was a lot of stagnant dirty water for a while, and quite a few temples before the crawl through Tiruvallur. There was a container freight hauled by GMO WAG9H 31822 standing in the opposite direction. Then an express crossed on the left before the Egattur forests. There were a lot of sheep, goats, cows and calves grazing. There was a stagnant patch of water in the dry Kushasthalai river. My ticket was then checked – the TTE asked only for the ID proof – I showed him my PAN Card, but he told me that it’s a photocopy and asked me to keep Aadhaar card for safety! Aaah…just underlines the obsession of our government with Aadhaar for anything and everything! Anyway, I have the original Driving License as well just in case!

There was a BCNA rake led by Ajni WAG9 31259 standing at Tiruvalangadu. We crawled and changed tracks – now we were on the leftmost track! On the right most track there was a TSR of 100 kmph! I then saw a stagnant pond and a long line of palm trees, as well as a Splendor bike parked in the midst of this wilderness before Mosur! After Puliyamangalam, 12610 SBC MAS Intercity exp crossed us with RPM WAP7 30427. Then there was again a TSR of 100 kmph on the right most track! :O Then there was a lake before a PSR of 15 kmph (which would continue till we took the line to RU from AJJ). In the AJJ yard, there was a Car Carrier AutoLinx rake and a BCNA freight with LGD WAG9 31556. An EMU departed towards MAS on the distant right as we pulled into the station (PF 3) at 13 44, 22 mins late. 3 families got in our coach. There was an EMU waiting on PF 4, ready for departure towards MAS.  22638 MAQ MAS West Coast express arrived on PF 2 as we departed after a two-minute halt.

An LHB rake crossed us on the left (12551 YPR KYQ AC superfast ?)while we changed tracks to move to the RU line. There were people hanging from the doors of our front 2 coaches! :O On the line to RU, there was a TSR of 80 kmph for passengers and 50 kmph for goods. Soon there was a teaser of the scenery to follow later in this section, in the form of a forest, corn fields, palm trees and irrigated fields before we passed the ghost station of Ichiputtur. Then there was a stagnant pond and some coconut trees before an express crossed with a P1 – probably our counterpart 11041 CSMT MAS express. Then there was a small pond with water lilies and a lot of houses and an LC before we pulled into Tiruttani, where a few people got down and a family got in. 12245 HWH YPR Duronto (apparently running about 3 hours late) passed the station without stopping, hauled by TATA WAP7 30549.

There was a small river called Nandhi, before a highway gave us company on the right. Then came the scenic Ponpadi station (last station in TN on this route) which was full of trees, following which there was that famous 90 degrees curve.

On the DOWN line, there was a TSR of 50 kmph for passengers and 30 kmph for goods before Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta – the station with the record for having the longest name in IR (or has it been broken?), and the first station in A.P in this route. There was a Grand World Water Park (a really scenic location for a water park, I must say! 😀 ) . Then there were some stagnant water patches and the dry Nagari river. There was a tractor on a thin road next to the DOWN line bridge! Now the DOWN line was really down – as it was below us! 😛

Then there was a beautiful lake near Ekambarakuppam, in which there was a grass island. I saw cows and calves grazing. There was also a uniquely shaped mountain peak christened “Dadar express” by railfans – since it resembles a train being pulled by a diesel loco – 12163/64 MS-DR superfast (earlier 11063/64 MAS-DR express) has always been associated with diesels; in fact, for a brief period from 2003 to 2006 it was hauled by a diesel loco (usually a GTL WDM2) between Pune and MAS!

Check this video of us blasting through the scenery – rock cuttings, greenery, trees and mountains; skipping Vepagunta on the way – all the way our P1 honking melodiously https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M6P4-2EBOc&t=9s . Then there was the lovely sight of boys playing hockey at a school, while a lot of girls and boys watched. This school was, again; in a very scenic setting – with a beautiful lake nearby and a lot of coconut trees. A lot of buildings signalled the arrival of Puttur, where some people got down. We overtook a freight led by twin WAG7s (leading – ED 27481). The separation between the DOWN and UP tracks made for some good photography! 😉

There was another beautiful lake and some spectacular scenery (yet again!) in the form of forests and surrounded by a line of coconut trees and of course the Sapthagiri Hills in the distant right!

There was a TSR of 80 kmph before Pudi, where we overtook a TNP ALCO with  a few freight bogies. There was the dry Swarnamukhi river, before we crossed an almost 1 hour late running 66048 TPTY MAS Fast MEMU. At RU yard, there was an LGD WAP4 22717 coupled to a now rare Rajdhani liveried AJJ WAP1 22058. There were Humsafar coaches (have seen them here since March end this year!), few BCNA rakes, an accident relief train as well as a WDP4D in the distant right; as we pulled into the station (PF 1) at 14 57, 7 mins late. Near us lay GTL WDM3D 11118 with 2 Accident Relief Medical Vans. On PF 5, 22603 KGP VM superfast pulled in behind RPM WAP4 22872. On the distant right, a BCNA rake led by BZA WAG7 28464 (in WAP4 shell) left (in our direction) after continuous LT horn blowing. On PF3, 16381 CSMT CAPE Jayanthi Janata express arrived behind ED WAP4 22526.

I had an Egg Biryani for lunch (which was strictly ok) as we left at 15 10. I spotted twin ED WAG7 twins 27653 and 27497 in the distant right. I will be continuing my account in Part 2. Hope you have enjoyed so far!

Value addition in entire system can be a game changer for SAIL: Chairman SAIL

Value addition in entire system can be a game changer for SAIL: Chairman SAIL Focusing predominantly on value added products, Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) is looking forward to offer an array of differentiated and quality products in market while focusing on value along with volume. During interaction with employees at SAIL’s Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP) on Tuesday, Chairman, SAIL, Shri PK Singh said, in the prevailing stiff market competition, value addition to our products and processes along with tailoring the product quality and attributes in line with market demands rather producing only volume can be a game changer for us. He added that the state-of-the-art 1 MTPA (million tonne per annum) capacity Medium Structural Mill (MSM) installed at DSP is capable of producing world-class structural steel products which have a high demand for various on-going and upcoming infra and construction projects in India. Shri Singh also added that with Railways switchover to LHB coaches in a phased manner in next few years, wheels for new LHB railway coaches are in advanced stages of validation at DSP and the metallurgical testing of the wheels has already been completed. At DSP, MSM is producing Parallel Flange Beams, Joists, Channels and Angles, which are primarily used by infrastructure and construction segments and considering the pick-up in infrastructure projects, metro connectivity, accelerated construction activities, Shri Singh said “These products are all expected to translate into increased demand for such value added Structurals. The Company is also tapping world market for exporting its products where there is a demand for these.’’ DSP is a plant designed to produce 7.5 lakh tonnes of Semis, where SAIL-DSP in association with R&D and Centre for Engineering & Technology (CET) will tap the huge market for special grade semis by targeting to produce 90% semis as special steel grades and tie up for value added products of special steel. The semis would also explore possibilities in transmission line towers (TLT) and forging areas, he said. Emphasizing the importance of Research & Development and improving Project Designing, he said that, RDCIS and Centre for Engineering & Technology would contribute more in developing value-added products for the Plant.
