Indian Railways ruthless overtake:Thumping Alco overtakes EMD at MPS
Thumping overtake at Chinchwad : A late running Chennai Express goes beserk through the Chinchwad curve, trying to make up for its lost time. It had reasons to be angry : 15 minutes late running Karjat Pune shuttle, powered by a Macho WDP4D was held up at CCH for this regular overtake. Soon after passenger train arrived, a surprise long BCNA rake with twin WCG1 came from Lonavala side and was looped here. Hence Bang on time running Chennai Express was slowed down between Malavli and Akurdi. So 25 minutes after the arrival of Karjat Pune shuttle, came the furiously smoking and honking Alco, negotiating the huge curve at MPS! Enjoy the MPS

Karjat-Pune Shuttle has scheduled overtake by 11041 CSTM-MAS Exp at Chinchwad. 11041 MAS Exp has commercial halt at Khadki. And between Khadki and Chinchwad, there are no stations with extra lines (for overtake). Hence, till the time MAS Exp overtakes KJT-Pune Shuttle, the train is always held up at CCH only!

Yes yogesh sir. I have mentioned in my explanation that this is a regular overtake.. But in this case, a freight train came minutes after the KJT PUNE shuttle. That slowed down MAS express from Malavli

Awesome roar by Shakthi!
I have never seen Alcos smoking at high speed... Was there any gradient near that turn?

    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...
