With the introduction of these new non-AC rakes featuring <strong>Automatic Sliding Doors<\/strong>, Western and Central Railways aim to eliminate the risk of passengers falling from running trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features of the New Rake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Automatic Door Control:<\/strong> Doors will be synchronized with the train&#8217;s movement, ensuring they remain closed while the rake is in motion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enhanced Ventilation:<\/strong> To compensate for the closed doors without AC, the rakes are equipped with <strong>high-capacity forced ventilation systems<\/strong> (blowers) to ensure fresh air circulation even during peak hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increased Capacity:<\/strong> Unlike the fully vestibulated AC locals, these rakes maintain a configuration that maximizes standing room, catering to the &#8220;Super Dense Crush Load&#8221; Mumbai is known for.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emergency Talk-Back:<\/strong> New rakes feature an improved passenger-driver communication system for emergencies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact on Commuters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary goal is <strong>Safety First<\/strong>. By implementing closed doors on non-AC trains, the Railways are targeting a massive reduction in platform-gap accidents.
