I observed the MEMU rakes bogie, I observed that they are similar with LHB flat rake bogie and having disc brakes and cushion suspension on bogie similar what we observed in LHB rake bogie. Observe the 2nd pic. I totally surprised at the movement. Last pic is original LHB flatwheel bogie.

Do you think this MEMU is "Aam Aadmi ka Vande Bharat" and can go upto MPS of 130kmph?
Please comment your opinions based on this.
Thank you 😊🙏

Ministry of Railways "Mission 100% electrification" nowadays most of the diesel routes were converted to electric lines and hardly seeing these type of locos. Now these locomotives are working on inferior duties like shunting and refrained from mainline duties.

I hope most of the RF ans surely love Alco locomotives because of the unparalleled history and dedication of work when after Coal engine based locomotives phased out in the past. Later EMD locos came. But no one can match or beat Alco locomotives ❤️ every RFans lub...
