04402 UDHAMPUR - ANAND VIHAR Special (Self Generating Pure LHB Coaches) | TKD WDP4D #40273

(Night time departure from Jalandhar Cantt Jn)
Please don't get confused with the livery of these LHB coaches, although the livery is similar to the one of the HYBRID LHB coaches (LHB Shell on air-spring ICF bogies), but these are PURE LHB coaches. These LHB coaches have

LHB Shell on the FIAT BOGIES, also these coaches have self-generating capability which eliminates the need of Generator Cars (End-on-generation, EOG system).
These LHB coaches were actually designed for the Delhi - Jammu Tawi Shalimar Express, unfortunately they couldn't meet the expectation of railways.

Nopes, these rakes were taken away from shalimar due to RSA Arrangements with Malani express as LHB MAINTENANCE at BME was not possible.
Moreover, due to CBC Couplings, this train serves as a carrier of Spare LHB coaches to SVDK.

This train doesn't go to SVDK, it was extended to SVDK last year only for some days, later it was again terminated at UHP. LHB spare reach SVDK with Shri Shakti Express itself. I have seen many times spare LHB Coaches tied at the rare end of Shri Shakti.
RSA is not a big matter, the main problem was the Self Generating System which required frequent maintenance that was beyond planned. Cases like frequent failure of the cardan shaft assembly was one of the major problem. Hence, Shalimar was shifted back to ICF with an RSA with Malani Express, and these coaches were used in the ANVT - UHP Spl, which is a tri-weekly train having sufficient time for maintenance at ANVT.

The rake is based at ANVT/NR. If you travel by it, you will be irritated due to the noise of the self generating equipments, moreover the MPS is only 105km/hr.

Yupp, I know about its MPS. When it was running till SVDK, many times I saw LHB coaches attached to it at the back. I also travelled in this train two years ago.

Its cleanliness was not up to mark and coaches were shaking badly. But it was continuously running at 110 kmph from LDH to PTKC.

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
