15.20: Reached HWH Stn along with my wife to board the 12571 HWH-SSPN Exp from PF 20. PF 17 was home to the HWH-BHADRAK Pass, STD 15.30, which was to impede our progress for quite a while later on .Occupied our seats S7-29 and 30 and went off for the now customary welcome chat with the LP.

At one point of time around 2 am between BAM and VZM the speed was so rocking that the vibrations woke me up. The pounding of the tracks was so noisy and merciless that I said a SILENT PRAYER for the safety of the LPs and the passengers before dozing off again :)
