If more smoke starts coming out from the same coach, a strobe light would be flashed simultaneously outside that coach and on the console manned by the guard, he said. Finally, automatic brakes will be applied to stop the train, followed by a hooter sound, if the system detects considerable amount of smoke or fire in the coach, he said. The LHB coaches have fire retardant quality. The materials used for flooring, seating arrangement, curtains and vestibules in the LHB coaches are all fire retardant, he said.PTI http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-in-school/doubledecker-coaches-to-have-fire-safety-system/article4065575.ece Published in: Uncategorized on November 8, 2012 at 4:25 pm Comments (1) Tags: automatic brakes, Doubledecker coaches, doubledecker trains, fire alarm systems, LHB coaches, smoke detection system

RCF produces end-on-generation air-conditioned LHB coaches. It is also expected to develop a second variant of the power car for non-AC coaches within the next five to six months, which will have commercially useful space on the top. At the bottom, there will be underslung power generation sets of lower capacity suitable for them. Increase in carrying capacity and life cycle of LHB coaches is expected to bring down transportation cost for every kilometre by about 12 -15 per cent, even though production costs of LHB is higher. RCF has invested Rs 114 crore since 2007 for the transition. Another Rs 130 crore has been sanctioned for phase II of the project, which will be invested over a period of 2-3 years, said Saxena. To start with, trains with more than 20 coaches will use LHBs, then it will be extended to mail/express trains apart from Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto. LHB coaches manufactured in RCF in Kapurthala are mostly used in Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains while other mail and express trains are equipped with conventional coaches built at the ICF in Chennai. Increase in carrying capacity and life cycle of LHB coaches is expected to bring down transportation cost for every kilometre by about 12 -15 per cent, even though production costs of LHB is higher. With the optimisation of line capacity, the speed potential can also go up to 200 kilometres an hour from 110 kmph now. Apart from the economic benefit, LHB coaches offer better safety and do not turn turtle in case of a head-on collision, said a railway ministry official. A senior ICF official said they have invested Rs 300 crore for 250 coaches since 2009-end. The planned rollout of LHB coaches from RCF in 2011-2012 at 450 has increased almost 77 per cent from the actual production of 257 between 2001 to 2006. The annual production capacity projection for LHB coaches in 2011-2012 from the three factories, including the upcoming one in Raebareli will be 506 but is expected to go up eight-fold in 2016-2017. By then, the Palghat factory is also expected to join the three production units in manufacturing LHB coaches. The Railways acquired the passenger coach manufacturing technology through two separate agreements with Alstom LHB in 1995, one for supply of 24 EOG coaches and the other for transfer of technology to produce the coaches at Indian rail coach facilities. The 24 EOGs were imported at Rs 131.37 crore. http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/railways-plans-4000-german-coachestrack/445027/ Published in: Uncategorized on August 16, 2011 at 1:47 am Leave a Comment Tags: Kapurthala, LHB coaches, LHB German coaches, Linke Holfmann Bush (LHB) coaches., Rail Coach Factory (RCF)
Get ready for more luxurious and safe journey by Rajdhani Express
The journey from Bilaspur to New Delhi by Rajdhani Express will soon become more safe and luxurious as the Indian Railways is planning to introduce super air-conditioned coaches. The technically advanced rail coach is to be introduced in all the important Rajdhanis, including Bilaspur- New Delhi Rajdhani Express in the first phase. Preparations have been going for the introduction of these hi-tech coaches from a long time now. The decision regarding this will be taken at the Railway Board level and then it will be sent to the higher authorities for final approval, Santosh Kumar, senior spokesperson, Railways, told Bhaskar News. These modern coaches will be manufactured in the Rai Bareilly coach factory. Atleast 25 such rail compartments will be manufactured by the end of this year. Every year 60 super luxury coaches will be produced from this factory. At present, the 3-tier AC coaches of Rajdhani Express have 72 berths and 2-tier bogies have 64 berths. The new super luxury AC coaches will have 55 berths. However, Railway officials declined to comment on when these new coaches will be introduced but they said that the bogies will be seen in the Rajdhani Express in the first phase itself. Rajdhani Express to get advance LHB coaches The new super luxury rail coaches will be built using Linke Holfmann Bush (LHB) technology. These coaches, which will be built using the German technology, will be made of stainless steel. They will have more inbuilt safety and luxury features. They can absorb shock and impact of derailment more effectively, a feature which reduces the loss of live and property in case of accident. Such coaches are already being used in some of the top trains in the country like the Palace on Wheels. http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/MP-RAI-get-ready-for-more-luxurious-and-safe-journey-by-rajdhani-express-2324799.html Published in: Uncategorized on August 11, 2011 at 3:41 pm Leave a Comment Tags: LHB coaches, Linke Holfmann Bush (LHB) technology., luxurious and safe journey by Rajdhani Express

operations, with railways expected to enhance production capacity of its coach factories to 2,000 LHB coaches in 2014-15 and another 4,000 in 2016-17. The modern coaches that are made of stainless steel have more in-built safety features, and can absorb shock and impact of derailment more effectively. A senior rail official said, The sturdy and robust design obviates capsizing of coaches in case of accidents. This helps to minimize damage and reduce the loss of lives. The casualties in the recent Kalka derailment could have been much less if the train was running on LHB coaches, he said. The state-transporter is planning to introduce LHB coaches in mail and express trains in a phase manner by 2016-17 as they are equipped with fire-retardant material and advanced couplers. Unlike indigenous ICF coaches, which are prone to capsize or climb on each other during a collision, the LHB bogies dont get toppled. Apart from restricting the speed limit to 105 kmph on mail line and 110 kmph on Rajdhani tracks, ICF coaches raise safety concerns due to a large number of hanging under-gear parts. Though a traditional coach costs Rs 1.5 crore each against a LHB one that comes for Rs 2.5 crore-Rs 3 crore. The modern coaches are more comfortable, have a higher life-span of 35 years against ICFs 25 years, and also have a 12%-15% higher passenger capacity that can raise revenue.
