Great shots taken on a very lucky day for this train. It reached destination NDLS also 18 minutes ahead of schedule and its coverage of CNB-NDLS stretch was superb.
This was also one of those rare days when it ACTUALLY could skip ALD at midnight.
(Usually, only 12314 skips ALD daily, and 12313 usually is forced to around 1-2 min. unscheduled halt at ALD almost daily for what reason I know not)
