1) When it's 1 o' clock by your watch in the noon.
2) You are standing at a station in HB chord or HBC connector from Howrah.
3) You start hearing loud EMD horns & jet engines echoing all around (from BWN end) :P
These symptoms indicate only one thing: SHAN - E - NFR !!!

Dusro ke pics lene ki ek wajah hai.
Mujhe ghar mein kuch kaam hai har roz. Isi liye main zyada trains ke clicks nahin kar sakta. Aur mera camera utna achha nahin hai. Isiliye sorry.

Very well done 👍👍👍
New work..

After back to back sketches of diesel trains, I tried an electric. The overhead catenary jungle is too irritating to the eyes!

Seen here is Howrah WAP5 35009 hauling

the New Jalpaiguri - Howrah Shatabdi Express, zipping past Prantik.
I clicked this during my visit to Shantiniketan back in August.

Once this used to be the fastest diesel hauled train of India, with an average running speed of 72km/h and the first diesel train to touch a speed of 130km/h. Now on electric, it lost its uniqueness. Never mind, they call it development.

Pardon any mistakes.

    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.
