given to me by the NCR division while i was on a night long RF at Hathras Jn. The RF session began on a poor note thanks to awful controlling,first due to late looping of the Delhi-Tundla MEMU,the NCR's own prestige Kanpur Shatabdi was made to halt at the station outer only to crawl through the station once the signal was given.Things became worse when the same shit was repeated with the Delhi-Hathras Killad MEMU,the HRF bound MEMU arrived at Hathras Jn. on time,but was made to halt at the outer for a long time thus causing the Sealdah Duronto to crawl once again just like the case with Kanpur Shatabdi,the final nail in the coffin was delivered when the NCR's most prestigious train.ie. Allahabad Duronto was made to halt and later crawl at the station as the controller gave priority to Sangam Express ahead of this prestigious train since Aligarh. It was then my patience broke and i was all looking up for a train to go back to home.As all trains which halted at HRS bound to Delhi were jam packed ,i decided to continue my expedition with a heavy heart.But fate yielded it's reward later on..as i got to witness some of the rarest and coolest overtakes on this route.
In a span of one hour i got to see a different side of the NCR controller,which began with the overtake of the ECR's prestigious Bihar Sampark Kranti at the hands of Purushottam Express.
Just as the GZB WAP-7 led 12565 Bihar Sampark Kranti entered it's loop, i was able to see a beam of light approaching from the East end..I was certain that it was the 12801 Purushottam Express,but i was not certain about the speed at which it was approaching.I was reluctant to shoot the video as i thought the Purushottam would crawl,but i had to change my mind quickly after seeing the approach of the train..The TKD WAP-7 led Purushottam Express was approaching like a raging hurricane and i in no time,started recording this rare overtake..The 22 coacher 12801 Purushottam left no stone unturned and razed past the sidelined BSK at full throttle,i was amazed to see that even with a close gap the Purushottam express belted past the station as if the BSK was looped since a long time. The second surprise came at the stroke of dawn,when the NCR controllers decided to surprise me one more time with another scintillating overtake,this time the bait was to my surprise another ECR's pride ie. 12553 Vaishali Express which made way for the highness ie. ECR King..12309 Patna Rajdhani. The Patna Rajdhani was having a hell of run and was razing away the sidelined trains and stations like a boss.All boiled down to the penultimate moment,when the GZB WAP-7#30233 led 12309 Patna rajdhani finally showcased it's brute nature.The 21 coach PNBE Rajdhani blazed past like a trace of bullet leaving the station in shackles.What a moment it was when one of the prestigious trains of ECR bows to mighty King of ECR..!! As i thinking that the controllers would allow the Vaishali Exp to proceed,in came another surprise..the starters changed colors and it was time for another humiliation..The 12273 Howrah Duronto leading it's way with HWH WAP-4 in charge,showed the way the looped Vaishali Exp that it was in a mood of serious aggression.After getting humiliated by Patna rajdhani,the LP's of 12273 Howrah Duronto were all charged up.Just as the first light of the day broke,in came the thunder from the east.Approaching like a ball of fire,the HWH WAP-4 led 12273 Howrah Duronto bolted past the station at a great speed and in the process delivered a typical sucker punch to the sidelined Vaishali Express whose misery was finally broken after this overtake..!!
It was really a RF session full of ups and downs and full of surprises..that is NCR for you..whenever you're here..you are in for a surprise :D
