A Short observation at NGP and trip report
-------------------------------------------------- -----
On Saturday 28th Jan, I had to travel to my hometown near Amravati (AMI). I checked the live station (NGP) in NTES and found that 12406 Gondwana Exp was running 4 Hrs late. So, I decided to travel by train instead of bus. I went to station and spent some time in rail fanning. Below are few things i observed.
1)...
more... Delhi bound GT was already on PF 1
2) KOP - NGP arrived at PF5 on right time behind PUNE WDM 3D 11176.
3) NZM - SC Duronto took halt for 10 min at PF2 and moved ahead. It was powered by AJNI WAP7 30467
4) 12409 Gondwana bound to NZM arrived in time with BSL WAP4 22245 which was detached here due to reveral.
5) 18029 LTT - SHM arrived with BSL WAM4 21330 10min before time and it halted here for good 30 min.
6) LTT - BBS Exp. arrived 10 min Before time at PF6
and finally, my train 12406 Gondwana (NZM-BSL) arrived 5hrs late at 14:00 and left NGP at 14:13. As per the speedometer installed in my phone, it was able to maintain speed of 100 to 110 KMPH most of the time. and reached WR at 15:27 and left at 15:30 I reached BD at 16:55 and got down to go to my hometown. It was nice comfortable journey in general class. The general coach in which I traveled was clean enough.
I spotted EMU rake with WR (Western) marking. can anyone give some more info about it?
