On time Karnataka express,chugging full on as it makes its entry into the main line from the Yelahanka line,just outside BYPL.Heavy chugging by both the twin ET-WDMs was a sight to behold.The 19 pictures sequencing the whole chugging part of the run.

Perfect.
Yes, this is a spot just 100 mtrs outside BYPL.The timing was such that it gave an impression that the train was passing thru a forested area.

Iam writing this blog as a reply for the blog no:753046.Don't bother its just 3 blogs behind the current blog.The blogger has asked a daily Superfast exp b/n Bangalore city & NewDelhi via BZA,NGP,ET.
From the long back i was in a thought that train fm SBC to NDLS has to go via DMM,SC,ET or UBL,ET. I did a little bit analysis on the assumed train via BZA.
Here i have taken 12540 YPR-Lucknow exp fm SBC to Itarsi & fm ET to NDLS 12621 Tamilnadu exp as a reference i have arrived @ the following time table for the said SF exp b/n SBC-NDLS via BZA

Agra Cantt 10:00 3
H Nizamuddin 12:45 3
NewDelhi 13:00 3
The total Journey time came as T=40:30 hrs(approx) ,the total halts was 15 and the distance was 2501 kms.If a tolerance of 3 hrs is added then journey time will be T=43:30 hrs.
Fm SBC to BZA if i take ref as 12540 YPR-LKO exp & fm BZA to NDLS 12621 TN exp as reference then the journey time will be T=37:50 hrs after adding tolerance of 3 hrs it will be T=40:50 hrs.
Now comparing my results with the remaining trains that are plying b/n SBC & NDLS:
D T N
1)12627 Karnataka exp 2406 39:10 32
2)12629 KTk Skranthi exp 2611 44:25 09
3)12649 Skranthi exp 2277 35:00 04
4)12647 Kongu Exp 2302 39:00 20
5)12wxyz SBCNDLS SF Exp 2501 40:30 15
D->Distance in Kms b/n SBC & NDLS
T-> Total jouney time fm SBC to NDLS
N-> no of halts b/n SBC & NDLS
By comparing the above results 12wxyz assumed train performance was equal to karnataka exp and greater than kongu,12629 ktk skranthi exp.
So, The assumed train can be intoduced via BZA,WL,NGP,ET which implies that my initial assumption was wrong.
Initially i thought a train fm Bangalore to Lucknow will always follow 12592 SBC-GKP route i.e., viaDMM,SC,NGP,ET,JHS,CNB.But i was wrong when the 12540 YPR-LKO was introduced via RU,BZA,NGP,JBP.12540 covers fm YPR to LKO 2553 kms in 46:00 hrs wheras 12592 SBC-GKP covers 2253 kms fm SBC to LKO in 41:00 hrs.Whereas the 15024 YPR-GKP & 15016 YPR-Gorakhpur exp covers journey fm YPR-LKO in 45:00 & 48:00 hrs respectively implies that the performance of 12540 YPR-LKO is better than the above mentioned trains & comparable with 12592 SBC-GKP even though 12540 covers 250 kms more than 12592/15024/15016.

For that case Sanghamitra,Bagmati are also running via BZA,NGP,ET.....
If no availability of PF @ SBC/NDLS then train can be YPR-NZM S F exp......
Little one: In the 1970s the Kerala exp & Karnataka exp both were twins & both were attached @ Jolarpettai Junction to form a full renowed famous train of Indian Railways the Karnataka-Kerala EXPRESS KK exp and in the return direction both were bifurcated @ jolarpettai into karnataka & Kerala exp....After that karnataka took the path of current one....

After clearing 15kmph CSDR speed restriction Itarsi (ET) twins #18769 and #16783 WDM-3A started smoking as hard as possible pulling heavy load Karnataka express rakes. You can see the mad eruption thrice and the last one almost like exploding.

amit singh ™ ♥♪ ♫♥**   3236 blog posts   2235 correct pred (73% accurate)  
Re# 750459-9                  
Few points why KK is hauled by twin locos...
1.The most common reason is the need for additional motive power when a single locomotive is unable to haul the train due to uphill grades, excessive train weight, or a combination of the two.
2.Double-heading is also used on passenger trains when one locomotive could suffice but would not be fast enough to maintain the schedule.
3.More rarely, double-heading is used to guarantee a service when they have been aware of the poor quality of their locomotives, on the understanding that if one engine failed in service, the other would suffice to get the train to its destination.

Re# 750459-11                  
Normally, all the locos are capable of hauling the train having more than 21 coaches but for maintaining the break pressure, two locos are required. This is being done away with new WDP/WAP locos which can haul upto 24 coaches with single engine since it is having superior breaking power.

On a sunny afternoon decided to RF at BYPL ramp along with Amit Singh and Tejas.. The location is awesome as you can capture train crawling into SBC from Yelahanka side , Descending gracefully from HSRA side and ripping from KJM. Karnataka Exp was running to time and saw the identical twins crossing over into the main line. As soon as more than half of the 24 coacher crossed into the ET twins started to smoke heavily and picking up speed. As the twins approached BYPL station they smoked once again covering the Light running KJM WDM3A waiting for starter in smoke. Watch in HD...
