International Railroad Discussion > Bath

This morning I learned how Indians take bath before work.

Interesting video.

It must do wonders for traction motors.

That is one heck of a long passenger train!

Reminds me of the video of the commuter train and snow filled station platform last winter! But WETTER!!!

The driver must have been laughing his a** off.

And they just stand there and take it. Can you imagine the filth and smell ?

What's the hotel power source and distribution on a train that length - or is there no power to the coaches?

At least seven of the cars (those visible behind the bow wave) are AC1, AC2 or AC3 (air conditioned first class, two tier or three tier) sleepers, the remainder are non air conditioned but will have ceiling fans. Power will come from one or two generator cars, usually at one or both ends of the train. The newest rolling stock - used on the Duronto, Rajdhani or Shatabdi Expresses - are air conditioned throughout and usually require two generator cars.

To see Indian Railway expresses at speed on the New Delhi to Kanpur line this you tube sequence is good fun
