Flying Ranee Express first started its service in 1906

[{"selector":"#anim-2c57abb6-9cc6-429d-b337-c4a50c9ff8cf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.526041439276142%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-18e75a7c-f59e-4a52-b749-a660388e4e02","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8f7cbef8-d097-4563-a70c-945c98e6eeaf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 186.84808%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Flying Ranee Express achieved another milestone in 1965

[{"selector":"#anim-1e0c2681-8b6f-4896-853e-2e02e0f3c760 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.526041439276142%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fc8cecad-fb48-4f4d-a93a-0440723e1a16","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.2381%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b89e8bc3-9f64-449c-9749-7ecb9f297640","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This becomes the fastest medium – distance

[{"selector":"#anim-c1448846-7d52-4fd7-b181-5cca01bb0b59 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.499999772451451%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66704ae4-b70b-44fa-b8f5-0c031587eeeb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.53399%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c295f976-1262-43f9-b075-307ac5217c75","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Now Railways has replaced this train with new LHB rake

[{"selector":"#anim-6b2264f4-435d-4e9b-b1f0-a6dbe4460076 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.499999772451451%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e315f42b-5f2d-4cc1-ae0f-2f42a4f445b8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.83801%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b35f296b-fd31-4dde-a430-9efad884300b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-779f4587-0cd4-4389-a79e-447c8b2163d7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

LHB rake is superior as compared to the conventional rake

[{"selector":"#anim-d2befb43-4860-49d0-9864-dba7be477dfc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.499999772451451%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-24bf9d13-466c-488b-8d78-665f4d296251","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-426e01d1-d415-4628-bf58-c67124b5eb77","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

LHB rake is comfort, convenience & safety for passengers

[{"selector":"#anim-565eb2b0-a8a0-492a-82eb-ddc3b33e25ad [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.499999772451451%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0846d611-798c-469b-9cb2-e0912bdc7798","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

LHB rake raises the carrying capacity by 29%

[{"selector":"#anim-5e6089a2-bfbb-402a-a760-d2a760a18173 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.499999772451451%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fc348caa-f896-419f-b22a-dbfdf2ccae82","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-80532219-7b76-4027-ad12-5c85b5697e09","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.87301%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It leaves Surat at 05:10 hrs & reaches Mumbai at 09:50 hrs

[{"selector":"#anim-bcee1001-8e45-4643-a6bd-3a4d73a80a27 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.526041439276142%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ddd1781f-022a-4c05-b11e-cf9b4110329a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6c9692da-701e-44dd-9e9a-101e07c1ce86","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.46540%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
