GZB loco looking so fresh and clean. Awesome.

IR20/IRY coaches never failed any speed tests. These rakes were just rolled out by RCF to gear themselves up for the LHB coaches production.

IRY 20 coaches have been around for more than a decade now, always with the Swarn Shatabdi exp. I have traveled in these coaches during Dec 1998. And later in 2004 also. The toilets of these coaches are after the doors, ie, doors are at the extreme end. The windows are really huge. They used to have velvet upholstery back in 1998, but in 2004 it was plain rexine.

Good shot and amazing photo clarity.

The fluted steel plates give an effect of bamboos tied together to form a wall. Great capture.

Because they failed high speed oscillation trials.

@Apu...wonder why it was never carried forward :-(

Excellent. IRY-IR20 is not a LHB product but an indigenous effort of RDSO/RCF.

good shot Ankit. IR 20 coaches always stands out from the rest. great location too.

Good location and excellent choice of position to snap the train. Oh yes! the photo is beautiful.
