Few Info About Himgiri Express :-
   Howrah - Jammu Tawi Himgiri Superfast Express is a superfast train of the Indian Railways connecting Howrah Junction in West Bengal and Jammu Tawi in Jammu and Kashmir. It is currently being operated with 12331/12332 train numbers on three days in week.  It covers a total distance of 2,021 km (1,256 mi) that runs through the major north states of India.The old ICF coaches of the trains were replaced with the new LHB coaches during Mid August 2018. 

  In 1975 in order to bring equality amongst all classes and provide good train experience to all strata of society, the Himgiri Express was launched. The Himgiri Express made its inaugural run on 1 January 1979. It made its first run on Monday. However this idea of bringing in equality failed miserably. It was also in this era that steam engines were brought to an end and paved way for electrified trains. The Himgiri Express was a part of the electrified wagon. It was also when this express was launched that the Indian Railways abolished the third class in trains
   The Himgiri Express train passes through the following stations: Howrah Junction, Asansol Junction, Chittaranjan, Madhupur Junction,Jasidih Junction,Jhajha,Kiul junction, Mokameh,Bakhtiyarpur junction,Patna junction, Danapur, Buxar, Mughal Sarai Junction, Varanasi Junction, Jaunpur City, Sultanpur, Nihalgarh, Lucknow, Bareilly, Moradabad, Saharanpur, Jagadhri, Ambala Cant Junction, Ludhiana , Phagwara Junction, Jalandhar Cant, Chakki Bank and then Jammu Tawi.

Few Info About Hog Loco :-
Indian Railway is manufacturing 3-phase electric locomotives
at Chittaranjan locomotive  works (CLW)  i.e.  WAP5,  WAP7  and  WAG9  locomotives.  These locomotives   take 
power   from   OHE   through   pantographto   traction transformer. Traction transformerof WAP5 and WAP7is provided with a hotel 
load  winding  to  cater  for  the  power  supply  to  coaches  (also  referred  to  as Hotel Load). With  the  technological  up
-gradation  and  continuous  advancements  in  the field  of  power  electronics,  control  system  and  power  supply  systems,
Indian Railways  has  decided  to  adopt  an  energy  efficient power  supply  system  for power  supply  to  the  coaches  referred  to  as Head  On  Generation  (HOG)  for Rajdhani/Shatabdi trains, presently  having  “End  on  Generation”  (EOG) system.  LHB  type  of  coaches  are  best  suited  for  adoption  of  “Head  on Generation”  (HOG)  scheme  as  the  rake  integrity  with  these  coaches  is expected  to  be  maintained  due  to  the  specific design  of  their  inter  vehicle mechanical coupling
