Red cherries' dominance!! LGD WAP-4 Baghajatin and VSKP WAP-4 East Coast grooving up!!

Enjoy the high speed encounter between two WAP- 4s. Powered by 22943 VSKP (Vishakapatnam) WAP- 4, the 20 minutes late running 18646 Hyderabad Deccan Nampally (HYB)- Howrah (HWH)

COAST Express accelerates while clearing Abada station, and in the process is greeted by a big off-link 22304 freshly POH'ed LGD WAP-4 hauled 58003 Howrah (HWH)- Bhadrakh (BHC) BAGHAJATIN Fast Passenger. Location is Abada (ABB) station on SER's Kharagpur- Santragachi stretch.
A lot of thanks to fellow railfan Sayantan Banerjee for telling me about the loco number of the Passenger.
BAGHAJATIN Fast Passenger follows the Howrah- Santragachi- Kharagpur- Balasore- Bhadrak route. Its regular link is BKSC WAG- 5.
East Coast Express runs along the East Coast of India between Vijayawada and Howrah and hence the name. Earlier days originating station of this train used to be from Guntur where it was hauled by Steam Engine. The train follows the Howrah- Kharagpur- Bhubaneshwar- Khurdah Road- Vishakapatnam- Vijayawada- Kazipet- Secunderabad- Hyderabad route to cover 1589 kms in 30h45m with 56 halts enroute. Earlier it used to get SRC WAP- 4 in between VSKP and HWH. But now its regular link has become either WAP- 4 or WAM- 4 of VSKP shed.

    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...
