The Barak Valley Exp. greets us at Maibang - Agartala-Lumding Exp. (Feb. 28, 2013) : We were waiting at Maibang for nearly half an hour for the Barak Valley to show up. The popularity of the train was evident from the crowd that had gathered at PF1. It was definitely exciting to see the loco emerge from the distance - YDM4A was in charge of the 11 coach rake. We were the first to leave the station on our journey towards Lumding. I bade goodbye to the train with a heavy heart, realizing that I would never see it again.

Doorplating at Dawn (Feb. 25, 2013) : Though I had promised myself two hours of sleep as soon as we started from Lumding, I couldn't resist from heading to the door at the first sign of daybreak. In the process, I gave Colin company as we enjoyed a chilly morning run. The BG track was visible in patches.

I think it had two sleeper coaches and no AC coach! Will confirm this from my videos.

Thanks! Within the next two years, MG will surely cease to exist on this amazing route. And BG will totally bypass one of the best sections via Lower Halflong-Bagetar-Halflong Hill-Jatinga, since it is being laid on the other side of the Jatinga river.

Barak Valley Exp. departs from Badarpur towards Lumding (Feb. 26, 2013) : On hearing the horn, Harsh and I rushed towards PF2, just in time to witness the Barak Valley Exp. departing towards Lumding. Being the only daytime train in the Badarpur-Lumding section, the train was packed.

Arriving at Maibang - 15693 Barak Valley Exp. (Feb. 25, 2013) : Video starts off with the train negotiating a massive curve, eliciting some "wow"s from Colin and myself. Soon after that, we were at Maibang outer. The loco accelerated with the usual accompaniment of smoke-n-sounds and then pulled into a fairly crowded platform.
