Journey highlights Panvel to Karjat : Overtaking offlink Rajdhani & chugging through mountains.
A short journey highlights from Panvel to Karjat section on board the Ernkaulam Pune Express on a monsoon morning. This section has been rarely covered since only very few trains traverse through this section. In the beginning of the video, one can a late running 22414 NZM MAO Rajdhani Express waiting for the starter towards KR behind a live KYN WDG-4D + RTM WDM-3D (failed). The train was held up at Panvel for a decent 20+ minutes as it was made to trail the 12051 Jan Shatabdi Express. Our train gets a starter from Panvel Junction after a 30 minute halt and we proceed towards Karjat through the gradients...
more... behind a beautifully chugging ERS Alco WDM-3A! After a 45 minute ride (with 2 unscheduled halts in between), we reach Karjat, where three bankers were attached to our train for further climb till Lonavala!
