This
is the standard Vacuum-Brake livery that was used by IR on all its
Mail/Express trains, except the Rajdhani, Shatabdi, and the Deccan Queen.
A handful of existing VB trains on IR are
the Dadar-Bareilly Express (also known as Allah-Hazrat Express),
Dhanbad-Alleppey Express and the Sabarmati Express |
This is the standard Air-Brake
livery that was used by IR on all its Mail/Express trains, except the
Rajdhani, Shatabdi, and the Deccan Queen.
Today, many of
the CR standard day trains like the Sinhagad Express, Indrayani Express,
Deccan Express, Intercity Express and the Pragati Express with a handful of
the '04' series of these coaches.
These new '04' series coaches are the new ones rolled out
by the Integral Coach Factory - Kapurthala, and have received a mixed
response from commuter organizations. |
This livery was used by CR, on its standard day trains, in the late 90's.
Some of the coaches, (if not all) of trains like the Indrayani Express etc.
However, this is a standard
livery of all the WDS4 shunters homes at the CLA (Kurla) Diesel Shed in
Bombay. |
This is CR's standard day train livery,
assigned to trains such as the Deccan Queen, Pragati Express, Sinhagad
Express, Indrayani Express, Deccan Express, Intercity Express, Panchvati
Express and the Taj Express. Today,
we can still spot some of these liveried coaches on the Koyna Express, and
other south- bound trains out of Mumbai, and even the odd KR train. |
This is the Rajdhani Express livery, which is applicable to all the Rajdhani
Expresses that run on IR.
The IR runs the Rajdhani Express service
from various nooks and corners of the country to the capital - New Delhi.
These trains are prestigious trains, and are fully Air-Conditioned.
It is a very common sight to see a Rajdhani
Express running with a Shatabdi EOG (End-On-Generator) van.
The IR has incorporated new LHB coaches
from GEC Alsthom into its rolling stock, and has allotted a rake for the
BCT-NDLS August Kranti Rajdhani Express, the livery of which shall be put up
soon. |
This is the Shatabdi Express livery, which is applicable to all the Shatabdi
Expresses on IR. Conceptually started
by IR, when it turned 100...Shatabdi means Century...which is 100!!! Like
the Rajdhani Expresses, the Shatabdi's too are prestigious trains, and are
fully Air-Conditioned.
It is a very common sight to see a Shatabdi
Express running with a Rajdhani EOG (End-On-Generator) van.
The IR has incorporated new LHB coaches
from GEC Alsthom into its rolling stock, and has allotted a rake for the
LKO-NDLS Shatabdi Express, the livery of which shall be put up soon. |
A livery very strikingly similar to that of the Shatabdi Express livery,
this is the livery for the Karnavati Express that runs between Mumbai and
Ahmedabad on the WR. Instead of
boards to depict the route and coach/bogie, this train has got its route and
coach/bogie numbers painted on the outside, within the limits of the board's
placeholder. |
Again a livery very strikingly similar to today's Air-Braked coaches, except
for the red line below the window. Coaches of this livery used to initially
ply on the KR. Now, all trains on the have a IR-standard Air-braked livery
coach, with the exception of a Deccan Queen-liveried coach.
In fact coaches that ply on KR have the
following stenciled: "To Ply On Konkan Railway Only." |
This is the JanShatabdi Express livery, which is applicable to all the
JanShatabdi Expresses on IR. The JanShatabdi is a more cheaper version of the
normal Shatabdi Express. |
This livery is an ideal mix-n-match of the Air-Brake and the Vacuum-Brake
stock. A handful of Sleeper coaches and the 'Motor and Parcel Van' coaches
are in this livery. |
This is the livery of the Deccan Queen. It was also known as the Ambulance
train due to this livery. There was always a matching liveried loco hauling
the Deccan Queen. The 2 2nd class coaches for the MST were Double Decker
coaches, and the Sinhagad Express was a fully Double Decker train then. |
This new livery has been on display for EOGs on some Rajdhani and Shatabdi
Express trains. |
