Each episode of this series consists of two or three videos, the first one is the the train of ICF era, which is followed by the new LHB avatar of the same train. But some train has got it's Utkrisht outfit before complete LHB-fication, those have also been featured. Stay tuned because more episodes are on the way ! • Why LHB, not the existing ICF ? Linke-Hofmann-Busch or LHB trains are evolving since 2000 and are more sophisticated than conventional ICF coaches. LHB Coaches are having CBC coupling, which offers more safety to the passengers. An LHB coach can accommodate more number of passengers than an ICF coach. Moreover, an LHB bogie (chasis) can run at a maximum speed of 200 km/h, where an ICF bogie can run at a maximum speed of 130 km/h. The improved suspension system of LHB coaches ensures more riding comfort for the passengers compared to conventional ICF rakes. The air conditioning system of the LHB coaches is of higher capacity compared to the older rakes and is controlled by a microprocessor which is said to give passengers better comfort than the older coaches during summer and winter seasons. They are relatively quieter as each coach produces a maximum noise level of 60 decibels while conventional coaches produce 100 decibels. -------------------------------------------------------------- Continue Watching : 🚂 ICF-2-LHB Full Series Playlist - • SERIES : ICF-2-LHB 🚂 Pratap Express Inaugural LHB Run with GZB WAP-5 - • Rana "PRATAP" got LHB : GZB WAP-5 inaugura... 🚂 Oscillating windscreen wipers of Locomotives - • Heavy duty Rain Wipers : [5 in 1] Trains u... 🚂 WAP-4 Playlist - • WAP-4 : The Mainstay Electric Loco of IR -------------------------------------------------------------- #chambalexpress #icf2lhb #indianrailways #icfchambalexpress #lhbchambalexpress #icftolhb #howrahwap4 #hwhwap4 #hwhp4 #howrah #gwalior #mathura #howrahtogwalior #howrahtomathura #easternrailway #northcentralrailway #trainspotterayang
