was tracking the train right from its source on Monday, when it departed Katihar. It did quite well to reach Gobda at 0135 and Bbk at 0331, but the problem was looming ahead and I was unaware of it, thought that train will cross lko around 0445 h and will cross Kanpur around 7 and reach around 1230. And I checked arrivals at Lko, there werent many train, although some were still there to reach Lko. The train dep Lko at 0505 and stage was set for it to reach Kanpur around 7 am. But suddenly a thought came to my mind to check arrivals at Kanpur and I came to know many trains were stacked for Kanpur arrival including Gkp HS. While i kept tracking them all special attention was on 55325, Ljn Kasganj pass, which was not allowed to be overtaken till Kanpur.the train dep kanpur at 0841 and like ols days i thought would reach in 6 hrs and will dep with Sk to reach Cnb around 11 pm. Got special care and reached at 0610 h at Delhi 4 hrs behind SS which dep at 0730 h.
The train dep delhi at 2014 and I thought will reach Cnb around 0300 hrs after SS, but it gave a hope when it overtook 64102 at Maripat, 12562 at Chola, 12402 at Sasni and 19039 at Tdl. I started from home and reached Cnb at 0015 h. And after a little while it overtook 12554 at Etw. And was cruising towards Cnb, but then an update came arrived Panki at 0157, and i thought would be for a little which but 20 mins passed and status didn't changed I checked 12554 and came to know that a controller was playing video game, 12554 crossed Panki at 0225 and SS was looming around, but it dep at 0231 h and till the time Vaishali arrived announcement of SS was also made. But I saw light coming PF7 where no announcement was made. And suddenly announcement was made for Humsafar to arrive on pf7. Both SS and HS reached Kanpur parallely.
Part 1 completed. Part 2 will be out soon.
