GR aur Ranakpur ki Yatra Meri Zubani !
So this was my first journey of FEB.
As dreamЁЯШЗ was to travel in Karnavati ExpтЧ╛(The train in Blue). But we had to Attain a function at Ahmedabad @20:00 Hence the most feasible option was GRЁЯФ▓ .. Pre charting tkt was ЁЯТптЮХ PQWL but post charting we got 2 MB. Than reached Borivali pf#6 at 13:05 and had a Amul Chocolate drink. which was just !ncredible .. within few mins. GR arrived with ЁЯЪДBRC WAP-5...
more... ~30045. as the link...
We finally reached our seats. and approx. 13:20 train departed from BVI. GR gained speed and skipped all the Suburban stsn at 100km/hтЪб speed. (approx.).
Than i took a Cup of Tomato soup..ЁЯН╡
which was served hot and spicy wih few roasted bread piece in it..
the speed of GR was constantly varying between 100-120 km/h.тЪб
As our Coach was G1 which was having Rajdhani type interior. with total 75 seats in it.(no SMB).ЁЯША
all seat were blueтП║ in colour..and
Not typical brownтЩж colour of GR style.. rest all were having GR interior with SMB.. G6 was perfect Raj. livery with both (interior & exterior) and having 64 seats in it.
with some span of time I exchanged my seat with a SL seat..
for having Rf..
while RF i witnessed the work of WDFC. ЁЯЫд
Ground levelling was going on from (Vapi - Sachin..)
GR was just running like a Cheetah.ЁЯРЖ and it reached SURAT at 15:55
with Bvi-St avg speed of 91km/h.тЪб
Again loco was in acceleration mode. and was skipping intermediate stsn with nice speed.
Meanwhile we reached Bharuch. and tried the (Peanut's) which is most popular of this town..
and at 17:35 GR approached ЁЯЪи VADODARA (BRC)ЁЯЪи. And shortly departed from here. And GR reached AhmedabadЁЯМЖ b/t at 19:15 ЁЯХЦ
with doing its journey (Bvi-Adi) in just 6h55 m. with an AVG. of 77km/h..тЪб.
For Dee GR in WR territory its always ЁЯПБЁЯПБ and green.ЁЯЪж..
Here we alighted and moved to clock room for keeping luggage.ЁЯЫД
for 3 luggage it took 30тВ╣ .
than we attained the function. and came to Ahmedabad at 23:30. .ЁЯХж
Immediately took the luggage ЁЯЫДand proceeded on pf#4 for Ranakpur exp.ЁЯЪК The pf was lush clean.. the cleaning staff was active at midnight also... for refreshment. AMULЁЯНж is always near by .
and 14708 Arrived. all SL Coach ЁЯШг were packed thoroughly approx.120 per coach. Even it was difficult to find a empty door. So much of WL..
(all due to cancellation of. 54805).
at early morning Quarter to Six. ЁЯХХand we reached our destination SOH.
(after 8 ЁЯШОmonths went to NWR)
Due to dark night ЁЯМГwith shinning Stars ЁЯМЯno pic could be captured of Doubling and electrification of NWR.
After a one night halt, its time to return. Again we approached Sirohi Rd. stsn and the same Ranakpur exp .. while walking at PF. , a alcoЁЯЪВ was honking loudly from far itself. then it camed with double stack containers freight train. with having one more VTA WDM 3A ЁЯЪВon its back.
It was also chugging to its highest..
And soon Ranakpur Arr at SOH.
BGKT WDP 4B-40100 ЁЯЪЕwas the link.
At ABR the S7 coach was having 120+ЁЯШг passengers in it. and WL ppl started booking of bays and Place near by wash basin.. When train departed from Palanpur. the picture becamed more worse. Handling increased steadily to 200 .. of S7 ..
On many UB there were 4 pplЁЯдР sitting. on LB /MB 2 ppl sleeping. Corridor was jam packed. NO place to walk.
By observing this , father told (" Ranakpur ko Rail Ratna Award se sammanit karna chhaiye"ЁЯСН)
for its occupancy. Coz whenever we tried in Ranakpur. we are ended up in RAC. (always PT gets exhausted). Due to overload of passenger. there were no water ЁЯТзin the taps. At Abu Road Cleaning staff cleaned the toilet. and filled up
the water. As due to RAC seat it was quite difficult to have sound sleep hence ,with flash light ЁЯТб i was observing the doubling and electrification work of ADI - ABR stretch. Half of the coach got empty at Surat.. Which was an relaxing moment ЁЯЩВfor WL passenger and others.. And after some hours Ranakpur arrived at Borivali pf#8.. .
