PART 1 SECUNDERABAD To HOWRAH TRIP REPORT.
A TRIP never had been so short; so short that it had to be completed within 11 hrs of
Landing at a place and had to catch a train back.Arrived by 17049 MTM - SC express; got myself freshned by in AC Waiting HALL by virtue of my Falaknuma 2A ticket.
Had some precious time spent...
more... with my friend while my RAC ticket still ringing on my mind
as to what berth would i get so that A Railfann at heart is not missed out.And the Fear
of Missing out on Railfanning ultimately came TRUE when i was allotted A1-24.Everything
after seeing that looked off taste and off-link; had a sumptuous SOUTH Indian VEG Meal
at my friends house and set out to Station at 2pm Sharp to catch hold of my train.
I reached Secinderabad Station at 3 pm and the train was found waiting on P-10.When i
approached my Coach, the Coach attendant informed me they were readying the coach with Freshners and other things and we have to wait till 330pm to board.hence 30 mins of
spare time and found my Railfanning heart urging me to be at it.Went to see the Charts
of 12704 and found NO RAC in any Class alotted and all WL passengers have been
cleared.Few vacancies in ALL Classes, 5 in 3A,2 in 2A,2 in 1A.Lots of intermediate
passengers in 2A and 3A were observed.Disappointed to see 2 vacanat berths in 1A but NO Upgrades, i hurled some Slangs to the SC officials silently.Then decided to have some Railfanning when i saw a LGP P-7 standing beside P-10 and off i went for some Photo session.
Enjoy the pics guys.Other portion of the trip report coming after some railfanning
session.
