Letter to BS: Indian Railways to adopt HOG system to save power cost

In a game-changing move, the Indian Railways has shifted from the end-on generation system (EOG) to the head-on generation system (HOG) in trains having LHB rakes. This is an initiative taken by the national transporter to become more eco- and passenger-friendly. The system makes use of overhead electric supply to supply power to all the coaches of the train and puts a full-stop to LHB rake trains requiring two power cars for supplying power to the entire train. This is eco-friendly because now only one silent generator car will be used and the power from this car will be used
