⏳Waqt: The Race Against Time⏳
Finally kal Jaise taise..Atlast Gatimaan Trip ho gyi..Yha hum apko Ek Baat bata de..This was my Second Attempt..Kuch members Ye baat jante hai ki..Last Nov Mai I missed Gatimaan by 9mins..(AC AP--Gati--SEB). Nevertheless..
Earlier my Plan was to explore Humsafar this time..that Jammu-tirupati Wali,
But Jaise ki Last week Gati ki Gwalior extend ki News ayi..toh socha let's
...
more...
Try..160 Expierence krne ki bhook phir jaag gyi..
Vse Jhs-Nzm Inagaural Run bhi ek Acha option tha
..but due to Dates & Summer..Gwl pick kiye.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
Swarn Jayanti
As I mentioned earlier last time AC AP se Gatimaan miss hua..so The simple reason was ki is bar usse pehle Ka slot lenge..CA Mai 131 seats available thi & SJ was running 90minz late..I asked Yash,Maddy Sir..Cover kregi..Route kaise us side..Toh itna toh expected tha ki 4:15hrs Ka Buffer time at GWL toh max to max 2:30-3bjy tk Gwl lag jaegj.
Acha ab Subhy NTES check Kiya toh..503 Error bra rha.."Garibi Mai Atta Gila"
Dusri Sites check ki toh SJ was at Betul 5am k ass Pas..& APSK+AC AP are running ahead of AC..
I was praying ki bas Jhelum k pehle ET cross kr le.
9bjy tk BPL..middle line lenge & near about 1-1:30 Jhs & 3-3:15 tk Gwl..
8:30am tk status was like this
Panchweli-Misrod(Arrived)
Jhelum-Obedulaganj
SJ- Barkhera.
I thought shayd Jhelum ka OT HBJ pe Dede..but Jhelum pehle BPL ayi with BRC P7(Sultan)at PF 2,Followed by SJ BZA WAP4 at PF 3..itna Confirm tha ki Aj Jhelum
k Sath Parallel Run pakka..
But yha hum kya dekhte Bpl-Bina MEMU ko starter mil gya..
MEMU k piche Jhelum ki nikla then SJ..Hum soche.. Jhelum Almost Time pe hai & SJ off slot..Uska pehle Dep banta hai..phir Third Line bhi toh hai..
Finally 9:32 pe Bpl dep hua..& 9:37 pe Nishatpura halt..Ek toh already we are Running late...bas yehi Kami thi.
-Current position
MEMU-Third line
Jhelum-Middle
SJ-Nishatpura,
Up to Dewanganj We were on Third line doing 100-105, After that "Jhelum Chase Begins"
SJ Overtook MEMU just before Vidisha.. Parallely.
As per NTES Jhelum Vidisha Dep was at 10:05
& SJ Crossed vidisha at 10:15..I thought bas OT hone he wala hai..but Jhelum toh dikh nhi rhi..sorai k baad Kahi Ek curve pe SLR visible Hona start hua.."chalo badiya hai Camera Nikal lo"
But ye kya.. Distance to Reduce ho he nhi rha..20mins ho gye..after all unko P7 hai. Somewhere around pabai.. finally We Overtook Jhelum..whosssh😌.. Chalo ab line clear..
We Overtook Somnath-Jabalpur at Mandi bamora at 100kmph..that was unexpected.
Kurwai-kethora Mai SJ ko halt Mila..& Somnath Overtook us..
Somnath ko Damoh side Jana hai..Toh Line Clearance tk ab wait krna Hoga..itne Mai Jhelum aa gyi & Overtook us from Third line.."noooooo"
Yha hum Bina Enter hue & Jhelum proceed..
I thought Dhaura halt hai usko.."All is well"
Bina se nikle he thy ki Karonda Mai 35-40mins Ka halt Mila..Xing with Shatabadi & Sant Kabir Dham.
Yha For the first time..hmko doubt hua.. Jhelum Ka status bhi mohasa pe Arrived show Kar rha tha from last 25mins..
Lga Looped hui isliye Roka..but SJ ko toh Starter mil he nhi rha..after 40mins unscheduled halt..SJ Chali..udhar Jhelum bhi Mohasa se depart Kar gyi.."Waat lagi"
Again Mohasa Mai 15mins Ka halt...Ab lagane lga Gatimaan miss ho skta hai "Phir se".
Mohasa k baad Track maintenance chal rha with Some Inspection Car train.(saloon types coaches & ET P4)
We OT Jhelum again at Dhaura..& till Basai we were at MPS...I was just hoping bas aise he chalti rhe...but post Basai TSR/CO upto Khajaraha..15-20kmph that's it.. after Khajaraha again we were doing 100kmph.. Bijuli Nikal gya.."praying for Direct Entry"
But from 14:25-14:36..we were standstill at Jhs Outer.
By this time Mood off ho chuka tha..I asked some Members Gatimaan Ka refund Milega? as my train is running 4h+ late..Pics,Speed.. Updates dena Ka bilkul bhi maan nhi tha..Finally 14:45 pe Jhs Enter hue..99% I lost hope..Mind Mai calculation definitely chal rhe thy ki 75mins Mai Jhs-Gwl hua hai.
14:50 tk Jhs dep ho jye toh possible hai..bas Clear Run Milna chaliye with No TSR..
After 5mins AHPM bhi aa gyi.. that means AHPM OT Jhelum somewhere in LALITPUR-JHS Section.
Plan B was..Agar miss hui toh,The first thing i'll do was SEB Ka boarding station change..from Nzm to GWL.. & kisi theatre Mai movi,Dinner...thoda RF & SEB se se bpl.
14:58 pe Jhs starter mila... Mobile lgaya charging pe & Nazar bas window pe..we were crawling till Karari..Idhar pray chalu tha..No not for the second time.."ye Jhatka sehan nhi Kar paenge'..Soch liy thy ab miss hui toh Life Mai Kabhi Gatimaan nhi try krenge..
NTES check kiya toh Khajaraho-Udaipur toh hmare Ek Ghanta pehle Jhs Cross Kar li..
So "it's clear for miles for SJ"..Uske baad Swarnjayanti Jo Chali hai.."Mano Kisi ne current situation tweet Kar Di ho".. Throughout Clearence..GREEN GREEN GREEN.
no frieghts nothing..
Somewhere around 15:45 we crossed Dabra.."Dubte hue ko tinke Ka Sahara"
possible hai..shayd mil skti hai..bas Gatimaan k liy Sitholi pe na roke..
16:12 pe hum Gwl curve pe thy..Ander he Ander hum SL Coaches ki aur chal diy...EOG Ka sound aa rha..
Gatimaan Dikhi..At PF 4..& we were at PF 3..
Aj toh Rule tutega...No FOB today.
Left-Right-Left Dekha..& kud gye.
Phir kya tha bhage..Movies scenes Yaad aa rhe thy..
Gatimaan hmare smane thi... bgwaan Ka shukriya Kiya Sath he Sath SJ k LP Ka..bgwaan kre jaldi Bhopal shatabadi chalana ko mile unhe..76mins Mai Jhs-Gwl.. brilliant.
Sbse pehli apni watch Dekhi. The time was "16:14:27"
& 16:15:41 Gatimaan ne horn de Diya tha
▪️ Gatimaan▪️
For the First thing that comes to my mind was "Coaches Shatabadi se Ache hai"
pretty obvious..post Birlanagar we were Doing 130..after Rayaru 8-10 sec ka halt Mila..but one thing was missing..Welcome Announcement & Instrumental"
I asked one of the staff before AGC kya kya service hai..he simply said..AGC k baad he Milega..15-20 Passengers were there in each coach..I asked HTC "sir Kaisa response hai Gwl se"
He replied "Considering do din..Kafi hai..ek-do mahine Mai full chalegi" Ekdm Punjab style Mai.. Unfortunately Unse JHS-BPL extension Ka nhi puch paye"
Before AGC..only 1 Water bottle served..
Kahi Kahi TSR hai.. otherwise 130 Touch ho rha tha..infact Chambal bridge bhi Achi speed pe Kiya..in Morena we OT Khajaraho-Udaipur".. Slowly-Slowly
Sab log bade dhyan se Dekh rhe thy hmri train ko..
17:43 pe we were at AGC..food load hua..& kuch kuch Attendant foreigners Ka Namaste karke welcome Kar rhe thy..
Palace on Wheels was also there at pF 4..
Jaldi se loco Ka pic liya..shayd yha crew change hua..Lps board krne se pehle..loco ko Naman kiye..Yha pe HTC sir se hmne bol Diya.."Nice Uniform Sir"..pic milegi..he replied Aj kal Rajdhani-Shatabadi Mai yehi chal rhi with a smile"
Meanwhile ek-do Passenger Aaye thy request krne with Gen Ticket leke..he politely replied "kya faida teenguna kriya lag jaega"
We departed on Time...yha kya dekte.."Pura coach full" hmri seat pe bhi koi hai..
Welcome Announcement hue.. Instrumental bje..& Ab ayi Gatimaan Apne Shi Roop Mai..⚡️⚡️
Snacks served before MTJ..
35-40minz Mai MTJ lag gyi thi..EC full of foreigners..log Hmre GPS ki pic le rhe thy.."thoda gyan bhi bata😉"
Snacks mai-Kulche Chole along with Chatni,Mithai piece,Amul lassi,Tea,Haldiram Namkeen packet,biscuit along with Tea/Coffee.
Tea kit packing was slightly different from Shatabadi..just like Airlines you can say..
YES Train 160 touch krti hai...uska ek alag he Tashanhai..Ander he Ander Ek Khushi thi ki Gatimaan Mai Finally Tick lag gya✔️
Speed itni thi ki instrumental toh smj he rhe thy..MTJ pe AK Raj xing hui.. meanwhile.. Idhar 4-5 train OT ho chuki thi..one of them was Chattishagarh.
ballabgarg k baad speed kam ho jati..but 140 ho rha tha..
To be very honest Nzm kab Aya nhi pta Chale..kuch Passengers ko Jammu Rajdhani pakdhni thi NDLS se..
19:32 pe we were at NZM..
Bpl Shatabadi se filhal toh hum Compare nhi Kar Skte..as usme Jhs k aage journey nhi ki..
All & All Catering service thodi kam lgi..I was hoping megzins/Newspaper also..
Baki 160 & MTJ skip Mai mazza Aya.
For the first time I saw nzm station from outside..comesom & all..Acha hai.
Baki SEB k bare Mai kya bole....vo toh Achi hai.. Clean.. Catering service is also good..but hmara dhyan TKD BAAZIGAR pe zyada tha..WAP4-WAP5-WAP7 teeno experience hua.
“All that doesn’t start well, sometimes, does end well..!!”
Thank you for reading patiently.”
