At the daybreak a light appeared breaking the darkness and approaching a island station Shegaon!
Only the Marker and a bright midmomunted were visible which were making hard to identify of the loco.. but a sudden steam type honked was not able to hide the identity anymore!!After hearing and as the loco approched i was sure that its P1 and guessed it right too!!
GZB WAP1 22036 was pulling 23 coacher AzadHind Express into Shegaon station 40mins late!
As...
more... i boarded the train we got green and within seconds the beast started showing its adequacy!! Quickly touched MPS and maintained it until we reach Akola for our next scheduled halt :)
Akola->Badnera and Badnera->Wardha scenario was not different, same power,same aggressiveness and same result each time as well!!
We took an unscheduled halt at Talni and Dahegaon but that was not going to matter in front of this guy's aggression!
Wardha->Nagpur scenario was a bit different though as we followed speed restrictions at both Sindhi,Tuljapur, Unscheduled halt at Butibori where we exchanged flag with super aggressive KYN WCAG1 powered concor!! after that we skipped Khapri through loop.
But still we managed to arrive Nagpur 10min before time!
As we were stepping into Nagpur Junction we were welcomed by HYB bound Telangana Express and ADI bound Prerna which was going to start its journey soon!!
Overall an awesome joourney :)
