Journey in one of the filthiest trains I've been on.

A little overview: I booked a ticket on this train on January 7th and had a CNF seat. Due to circumstances, I canceled it at midnight, booked tickets on the LKO Shatabdi-BSB Shuttle the next day. I canceled those and booked again on the same train, this time Tatkal, with a SU instead of MB.

This post is about my travel on the Odisha Sampark Kranti. I boarded from ANVT, saw the Kalka Mail being looped at Chander Nagar to let our train cross at Sahibabad. After crossing the Sampoorna Kranti Express, I went to sleep. I woke up somewhere after Fatehpur and deboarded at Subedarganj outer.

1. Anand Vihar Terminal glowing in the morning sun.

2. Train board of my coach, B4.

3. My coach basking in the morning sun. My coach and H1 had Pattachitra vinyl coaches.

4. 13257, Danapur-ANVT Jansadharan rake on PF-4.

5. 12444, ANVT-Haldia Express rake for the night departure parked on the track between PF-5/6.

6. The shabby condition of my coach; everything was falling apart, the exterior was extremely filthy. Even the bedrolls had stains and didn't look thoroughly cleaned.

7. Station board of ANVR/Anand Vihar, barely visible from the dirty window of my seat.

8. Another train in extremely shabby condition, 12312, Kalka Mail, getting ahead on the mainline at good speed before being detained.

9. JHS WDG-4D 70537 with NCR's own muck train at Kanpur GMC.

10. Brand new train cars from the central zones of Northern India. BCNAHS from ECR and 3ACEs from NCR at Kanpur GMC.

11. [link] AGC Vande Bharat crossing while I was contemplating whether I should deboard at SFG outer.

Kumud.

Ek bahut ganda train mein safar.

Thoda sa overview, maine 7 January ko is train ka ticket book kiya tha aur seat CNF thi. Haalat aise bane ki maine midnight cancel kar diya, agle din ke liye LKO Shatabdi-BSB Shuttle mein tickets book kiye. Dono cancel karke firse usi train mein, ab Tatkal, MB ki jagah SU ke saath book kiya.

Yeh post meri Odisha Sampark Kranti ki yatra ke baare mein hai. Maine ANVT se boarded kiya, Kalka Mail ko Chander Nagar pe loop hote dekha hamari train ko Sahibabad pe crossover karne ke liye. Sampoorna Kranti Express se xing karne ke baad, main so gaya. Fatehpur ke baad kahin jaag gaya, aur Subedarganj outer pe utar gaya.

1. Anand Vihar Terminal subah ke suraj ki kiranon mein chamak raha tha.

2. Mere coach, B4 ka train board.

3. Mera coach subah ke suraj mein basking kar raha tha. Mere coach aur H1 mein Pattachitra vinyl coaches the.

4. 13257, Danapur-ANVT Jansadharan rake PF-4 pe.

5. 12444, ANVT-Haldia Express rake raat ki departure ke liye PF-5/6 ke beech track pe parked tha.

6. Mere coach ki ghatiya haalat, sab kuchh girne wala tha, bahar se bahut ganda tha. Bedrolls mein bhi daag the aur ache se saaf nahi lag rahe the.

7. ANVR/Anand Vihar ka station board, meri seat ki ganda khidki se mushkil se dikh raha tha.

8. Ek aur bahut ghatiya haalat mein train, 12312, Kalka Mail, main line pe achi speed se aage badh rahi thi, rokne se pehle.

9. JHS WDG-4D, 70537 Kanpur GMC pe NCR ki apni ganda train ke saath.

10. Uttar Bharat ke central zones se brand new train cars. ECR se BCNAHS aur NCR se 3ACEs Kanpur GMC pe.
