Somewhat late running 12378 New Jalpaiguri (NJP)- Sealdah (SDAH) PADATIK Superfast Express headed by a dangerous looking 18753 WDM- 3A of BWN shed blasts through the Down reverse line of Madhusudanpur station on HB Chord enroute at a fairly good pace.
This...
more... train has got the record of getting most number of extra coaches during peak season. While the regular rake composition is of 14 coaches (also seen here with the same), this train gets upto 20-22 coaches during peak season, i.e.8 extra coaches, which includes upto 4-5 extra AC coaches. Hardly any trains in India gets so many extra coaches.
The train is one of the fastest trains to travel between these two cities, and takes an equal time as that of the Legendary Darjeeling Mail, and just 2 hours more than the newly inaugurated NJP Shatabdi Express. It follows the New Jalpaiguri- Kishanganj- Malda Town- Rampurhat- Bolpur Shantiniketan- Burdwan- Sealdah route of NFR/ ER.
Railfan Souvik is also seen in the video.
