Wow what a exciting evening it was I catch this train from James Street stn. I can say 10:20 ki last local but arrive at 10:50. Then it arrived at hitech 11:20 and stopped there for 15min. Some problem ahead but driver decide to go further I dont know who sugg. him. After going half km it stopped for again 20min then people stated worrying whats wrong and saw one goods train ahead just 100-150 meter ahead only blinking red. Here comes real halt a dead lock situation and then people again started waiting after waiting for another 30 min people really getting restless so I. Then I decide to get down since few people also planing the same. Now after coming to first boggy I asked loco pilot whats wrong he said engine failure of goods trains now I decided to walk till hafeezpet so that could... Read more...
reach home rather then spending night in MMTS. Since its moony night so I have some visibility but where to walk if on opposite track not sure train can come from back also since one line congestion.so i decide to walk in middle but it was not easy not only stones but thrones and metal pieces were there but I continue to walk and one goods train passing from opposite direction I m in middle so filled with excitement as it was passing with thunder sound. Now I came to know the real length of goods train after walking for more than 10 min. Tragedy was it was having two locos so after engine fail SCR zone has to arranged two electric locos and first time in life I saw a train with 4 locos. If it has a WCR zone I am sure it would have take morning to arrange two loco at a time. Now its time for another goods train to pass but this time I had to stand because I was ahead of that stopped goods train which could be in action any time. After another half km I got company of 3 people who also coming from same local but they took near by road and stared before me. Till then hafeezpet also visible and a cemented boundary started on which you can easily walk. But during whole journey I was concern that whether I will be able to reach before local train or not but in the end I reached first then the goods trains which came on loop line to clear the route. When I was reaching toward my room I saw MMTS also way to reach lingumpalli. If I had wait for another 40 min I would missed all this. I took risk on my own so do not sugg. any one to do so. As rail fan I just wanted to share this with you people. My phone was swithced of else I would have given live update.
