India's first AC double-decker train!!!

The Rail Coach Factory (RCF), rolled out country’s first Air Conditioned Double Decker Coach

Rail Coach Factory (RCF), rolled out India’s first air conditioned double decker coach. These high speed-stainless steel AC coaches would be introduced to cater to the heavy rush of commuters in high density route offering AC travel at a low cost. The new coach with pleasing green-yellow colour scheme has all the features and the comforts of a Shatabdi coach.

A totally new coach shell design capable of running at a speed of 160 kmph was developed by RCF engineers in tandem with Research Design and Standard Organisation (RDSO). In the new design, 128 passengers can be seated as compared to 78 passengers in Shatabdi chair cars, thus increasing the capacity by almost 70 per cent.

The overall height of double decker coach has been increased marginally (four and a half inches) keeping in view the constraints like overhead structures, bridges, electric traction equipment, platforms etc. so that these coaches can be used without modifying any of the fixed structures except for clearing some minor infringements.

The new air-conditioned design uses many superior technical features like aesthetically pleasing stainless steel body, high speed Eurofima design bogies with air springs for superior ride quality and many other safety related features.
