Indian Railways: The numbers and symbols made in the railway tell many information. Indian Railways is a huge network, in which around 13 thousand trains operate daily. In such a situation, railways adopt some special methods to run the system smoothly and write information. Railways uses a kind of coding for that. That is, what information is hidden in the numbers and symbols written in the railway, only the railway can understand it. You must have seen that a 5 digit number is written in a big size on the train compartment. It is also part of the same coding system. This is a unique code. Which has its own meaning.
What is the meaning of this code?
Many information is written in the form of code in the five digit number written on the coach of the train. The first two digits indicate the year in which the coach was manufactured. For example, if 06071 is written on a coach, it means that the coach was manufactured in 2006. The next three numbers written after 06 tell whether the coach is sleeper or AC. If you understand from 06071, then 071 means that it is an AC coach.
find coach facilities by number
If the last three numbers written on the coach are between 1 to 200, it means that it is an AC coach. Whereas, numbers below 200 to 400 are used for sleeper coaches. If the number 99312 is written on the coach, then its last three numbers 312 tell that it is a sleeper coach. Similarly, if the last three numbers are between 400 and 600, then he is a general coach.
These numbers are used for the rest
Similarly numbers between 600 to 700 have been fixed for chair car. Pre-reservation is necessary to sit in the chair car coach. Similarly, numbers between 700 and 800 have been set for luggage carrying or baggage coaches. If 09711 is written outside a coach, the last three numbers in it fall between 700 to 800. Hence it will be a baggage coach.
