Q3         Are there any particularly steeprailways in the world, and how do 
they work?

A3          Greg Michael, Extensive rail travel ina number of countries6h

Yes, there are some very steep railways.Once you get above a certain gradient, 
a railway will only work by the use of a rack and pinion systemwhich involves 
laying a toothed rail between the two running rails and using rolling stock 
which has atoothed pinion wheel which engages with the toothed rail to haul the 
train upthe grade and assist in braking when descending.

Different systemshave been developed over the years, such as Abt, Richenbach 
and Strub. The steepest rack railway in theworld is the Pilatusbahn outside 
Lucerne, Switzerland. 

Its grade is amaximum of 48%. Because of this, its toothed rail is laid 
horizontally toengage with the pinion wheels on the cars which rotate on a 
vertical axis,which is the Locher racksystem. This design prevents the cars 
lifting off the track.

My note- In the Mettupalayam- Ooty route I have seen therack and pinion system. 
My information is itis used both for climbing up  as well ascoming down to 
avoid slipping.Learntreaders can write.

Q4         What is the Indian Railway’s per dayincome?

A4          Prashant Singh,Lives in India Mon

It is difficult toprovide an accurate estimate of the Indian Railway's per day 
income, as it canvary significantly depending on a variety of factors, 
including the number ofpassengers, the distance travelled, the type of trains 
and routes, and theseason.

According to the Indian Railways' annual report for thefinancial year 
2020-2021, the total revenue from passenger traffic wasapproximately INR 
1,20,322 crore (about $16.3 billion).This revenue was generated from the sale 
of tickets for both reserved andunreserved seats, as well as from other sources 
such as catering, advertising,and parcel services.

Based on thisinformation, it is possible to estimate the Indian Railway's per 
day income bydividing the total revenue by the number of days in the financial 
year.However, it is important to note that this estimate may not be accurate 
due tothe various factors that can affect the railway's income on a daily basis.

Sugary fruits like bananas have come under fire in recentyears as studies have 
shown that they can be bad for you in the long term.While a banana a day can 
help you get your recommended daily intake of vitaminsand minerals, the sugar 
content in bananas can contribute toweight gain and other health problems over 
time.

Fructose is harmfulonly in large amounts, and it's difficult to get excessive

Bananas are one of themost versatile fruits and are a great source of 
potassium, fiber, and vitaminB6. They also contain a powerful antioxidant 
called pectin. Bananas are best eaten when they aregreen and slightly soft. The 
peel is also full of healthy nutrientslike thiamine, riboflavin, folate, and 
vitamin C.

The banana willprovide you with the necessary carbohydrates and electrolytes 
that your bodyneeds to perform at its best. There is no definitive answer to 
this question. Some people might say that thebest time to eat a banana is first 
thing in the morning, as part of anutritious breakfast. Others might say that 
the best time to eat a banana is asa snack in between meals or It is also a 
good idea to eat a banana before goingto bed because the potassium found in 
bananas helps you sleep better.Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide 
when is the best time to eat abanana.

My note- By banana,here plantain is meant, not Kerala Nenthran. Kerala Nenthran 
is difficult todigest. 

When blood sugar goes low, initially I was consuming sweetbiscuits or cream 
biscuits, now if available banana also.What I feel is to eat hard sweet items. 
Glucose or sugar doesnot fit me,though I keep them also handy.

That happened to me October 2010.I was ordered to the emergency room of my 
local hospital. I was given 2 bags of salinesolution and a shot of insulin. 
Five years later I discovered the ketogenic diet. Within a few weeks my 
fastinglevels of glucose were in the low one-hundreds, 100–120. Now they are 
between67 to 97. This is without taking insulininjections or diabetes 
medication of any kind. This is the reason why I havelittle confidence in the 
Medical profession.I was never told that proper diet can stop or prevent this 
“progressivedisease” called type 2 diabetes.

My note-It is individual opinion. But I have observed when I feel very tired, I 
used to take salinewater, and becoming energetic.
