Useful:Bitter truth ! Agree Agree Agree Useful Agree
Bcoz there is pressure from cabinet for cost cutting, to reduce operating ratio and to earn more revenue, slowly the passion towards rail as love is diminishing among rail staff as well as officers itself. Group B,C,D crew and ground staff is overworked due to vacancies in field and involving more contractual staff to reduce pension and related financial burden, who take it as just another stuff and often work at below par salary.
CDO staff is also dealing with infrastructure, parking space and manpower crunch and give them any kind of livery however beautiful, within 6 months it would be mishmash of pale dusty coaches. They had separate liveries for Duronto, Humsafar and Antyodaya coaches years back. Now look what we

have in store. Not a single of these trains is now running with uniformed liveried coaches. They don't have spare coaches of same livery to maintain the PoH/IoH schedule at car sheds/workshops. Nor do officers seem to have time to push forward for unique livery for Rajdhani and am sure even if some rail enthusiasts push for it and get one prepared, within few months again its rake would be a mish mash of all sorts of coaches

Because Politicians count giving things as achievement instead of maintaining them.
Dubey Ji despite his phenomenal achievements never once looked at the maintenance or punctuality of the trains he pushed for introduction.
Whether or not are they really feasible ? Someone from Godda ends up spending more than Double of Time it'll take for him to reach Jasidih just because you want to cover places that actually ensure existence of train like Bhagalpur.

Photos of the Day: On Republic Day, 26 January 1980, we took the Howrah (Calcutta) Rajdhani Express from Delhi overnight to Howrah. Here are the Rajdhani awaiting departure from Delhi behind one of the few EMDs that we saw in India, WDM4 18001, as well as a Krauss-Maffei diesel-hydraulic class WDS4A shunter moving the consist of another train.

MGS was supposed to have 2 sheds, MGS/ER (which kept ALCo s) & MGS/NR (which kept the EMD WDM4s) . Probably IR didn't get TOT for the EMDs, hence foreign staffs maintained them

Yes, MGS had an NR-owned diesel loco shed exclusively for WDM4 locos. The shed was shutdown sometime around 2000.
