Parallel thunders!!! Sparkling KZJ WAG-7 vs HWH WAP-7.. NMG rake and Coalfield Superfast!!!

Watch the stunning parallel action between a sparkling 27787 KZJ (Kazipet) WAG- 7 with a NMG rake and a fresh WAP- 7 of HWH shed with the 12339 Howrah (HWH)- Dhanbad (DHN) COALFIELD Superfast Express. The spirited Waggie was cruising through the Up reverse line, and the ABB babe came thundering through the Up main line. Location is Balarambati station on ER's HB Chord enroute.
The train uses ECR/ ER's Dhanbad- Asansol- Durgapur- Burdwan- Howrah route to cover 259 kms in 4h 30m with 11 halts enroute. The train gets all kinds of links, including HWH/ GZB WAP-

Re# 707389-5                  
NMG: These are not narrow-gauge wagons, despite the classification code! These are usually single-decker automobile carriers constructed out of old ICF and BEML passenger stock. The design is not entirely uniform but generally all the windows and doors are welded shut, and a new end door created to allow vehicles to be driven into the wagon (or former coach!). Some NMG wagons are made from old double-decker passenger stock and are thought to allow double-deck carrying of automobiles. A few NMG units converted from old BCCN (cement wagons) have also been spotted. The class code 'NMG' stands for 'New Modified Goods'; but at the time of its introduction it was also common to hear the explanation that it stood for 'New Maruti Goods' (Maruti is an Indian car manufacturer).

Honking SRC WAP-4E with Jaisalmer Superfast shows kind gesture, and gallops past
.
.
On a refreshing evening, stunning looking offlink 22373 WAP- 4E of SRC shed (ex. HWH) shows kind gesture by honking, and simultaneously cruises past with the 1 hour late running 12372 Jaisalmer (JSM)- Howrah (HWH) Weekly Superfast Express. This is the second time I spotted this train with SRC WAP- 4.
The train uses the lengthy Phalodi Junction- Bikaner Junction- Ratangarh Junction- Churu- Old Delhi Junction- Moradabad Junction- Bareilly Junction- Lucknow Charbagh- Rae Bareli Junction- Partapgarh Junction- Varanasi Junction- Mughal Sarai Junction- Gaya Junction- Dhanbad Junction- Asansol Junction- Kolkata Howrah Junction route.

Beauty of a buzzing Baaz!!! The Oldest Baaz notches furiously past a curve
.
.
SHF 20011 WDP- 4 "BAAZ" of SGUJ shed comes honking at a level crossing while taking a minor curve, and just as it approaches my cam, notches furiously to accelerate with the 24 coaches load of 12345 Howrah (HWH)- Guwahati (GHY) SARAIGHAT Superfast Express. Location is Balarambati station on ER's HB Chord enroute. Manufactured by Electro- Motive Diesel (EMD), U.S.A., this was the first loco of its class to be christened "Baaz". Earlier used to belong to Hubli (UBL) shed.

Devastating "Green Goblin" UDL Shakti scares bunch of fools and blisters past!!!

Extremely deadly looking "Green Goblin" 13195 Andal (UDL) shed WDG- 3A "Shakti" comes roaring through a curve, scares the bunch of fools crossing the tracks, and then rampages past Balarambati station on HB Chord enroute with the 2 hours late running 15227 Yesvantpur (YPR)- Muzaffarpur (MFP) Weekly Express. The regular link of this train from Howrah to Muzaffarpur is HWH WDM- 3D. But due to non- availability of the same at HWH DLS, this off-link was pressed into service.
The train uses the Yesvantpur- Bangarapet- Jolarpettai- Katpadi- Arrakonam- Chennai Central- Vijaywada- Vishakapatnam- Khurdah Road- Bhubaneshwar- Kharagpur- Howrah- Bolpur Shantiniketan-

For a long time, I had a belief that the 3300 hp WDM- 3A does not have the stamina and power to pull a 25 coach load. And pouring cold water over all my speculations, an extremely determined 16331R WDM- 3A of HWH shed comes chugging monstrously, and cruises past Balarambati station on HB Chord enroute with the 25 coaches 12509 Bangalore City (SBC)- Guwahati (GHY) Tri-Weekly Superfast Express, which was running an hour behind schedule. The train now gets 25 coaches on most of the occasions, and the regular link is HWH WDM- 3D. But due to non-availability of 3D in HWH DLS on that day, the
