Presenting some pictures that I took, while on a trip to Andul...
Andul is a very important suburban railway station on the Santraganchi-Panskura section on the Howrah-Kharagpur route!
Andul is just one of several railway stations that you would find near Metropolitan cities, that seem to satisfy almost all the criteria of being a junction yet miss out on some key characteristics...
Through Andul,
...
more...
Kharagpur is connected to Dankuni through the Calcutta Chord Link Cabin, which is a major fulcrum point with four lines diverging so as to connect SRC/SHM directly with the HBC line, and giving a vital KGP and beyond, connectivity from SDAH/KOAA end....
This cabin is vital and in the near future would play a crucial role in reducing the load that is put upon Howrah....
And, finally the beauty of the station premises is also amplified due to the wet cloud cover, add the typical Bengal countryside beauty to the mix, you get the picture :)
Picture taken :- 07-08-2018
Picture Courtesy :- Self
Camera :- Moto G5

Picture Roll :-
1-2. The freight train (BTPN Rake) parked in the platform numbered gets it's starter and starts crawling towards the CCLC, and finally towards DKAE.
3. Andul station board.
4. Station board and platform numbered 4 & 5.
5. BTPN rake proceeding towards the CCLC.
6. Howrah bound EMU arrives on platform numbered 3.
7-10. Dark Red Santraganchi WAP-4 passes through Andul station using platform number 5.
11-12. Howrah bound EMU arrives on platform numbered 4, and subsequently departs from platform numbered 4.

14. Ghatsila-Howrah MEMU arrives on platform numbered 4

ENJOY :)

Are you sure it was Shiromoni, it may be Shimlipal also!

Then you probably saw Shalimar-Bhanjpur Simlipal Intercity. Shiromoni is ICF CBC 14 coacher. SRC will always try to assign a P7 to utilise it's fullest acceleration strength on the CBCs. Under circumstances of loco failure or unavailability, a P4 is always available.

Lucky Shiromoni then. No diesel loco came to Adra so probably it was replaced at KGP. You're very lucky to spot such great offlinks. Wish you could get a snap of it . :)

I wish that too, however I had already boarded a Howrah bound train and you know how difficult it is to take proper snaps from a running train in dark evening....

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
