So, today my friend traveled in HWH - PURI Shatabdi upto BLS. He reached HWH much before the scheduled time.
His wait got over when 12278 PURI - HWH Shatabdi entered PF 23 of HWH ~ 20 min late, and as you can find in the photo (1), it was hauled by SRC P-4 #25049, which got detached from the rake in no time. The photography credit goes to him, who took some of the pics on my request.

more... (2) is the interior of coach C6, in which his seat was allotted. All these photos were sent through whatsapp to me.

Unfortunately, he couldn't capture the loco link for 12277, as that end was surrounded by RPF personnel. But yes, he has confirmed that it was a P-4 again from SRC. As he is well aware of my enthusiasm, he has noted down the loco number, which he will let me know very soon, once we talk again.
1277 finally departed HWH just 5 min behind schedule.
