I cannot argue further. There is a huge difference between a DD, LHB Rajdhani and a RORO. That's all I can say.

Less width + more height = recipe for high oscillations.
Simple example: SUV vs Sedan.

The original width of DD had to be reduced as the first DD rake of India i.e. the HWH-DHN DD with its original width was scrapping all the platforms. During trials, it was found that the coaches were having scratch marks just below the lower level windows which was due to the scrapping of the platform edges at higher speeds.
AS far as the height is concerned, I think it is 6" to 9" more than a normal LHB coach.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
