This is one system prevalent for both Raj and AK Raj on WR. A very bad practise in MHO. The porter will dump the stuff at one gate side. and then attendant will distribute. One cannot be sure that the bed sheet given to you might be that covering the blankets seen in the pic. By Shailesh Jasani,2005-02-15, On Board 2951 Rajdhani.

Food being loaded in PC2. Note the trolley is marked for AK Rajdhani. All food is loaded from base kitchen of WR and only food for I AC folks is cooked on board. By Shailesh Jasani,2005-02-15, On Board 2951 Rajdhani.

The name board on raj. In a very bad shape. The covering glass plate missing. The board itself is rusted and AS-4 board half cut. WR doesnt seem to take care of LHB at all. By Shailesh Jasani,2005-02-15, On Board 2951 Rajdhani.
