WAP-4 meets WDM-3a:: Jaisalmer Weekly Express greets Kanchan Kanya Express at high speed!!!
.
.
As the bang on time running 12371 Howrah (HWH)- Jaisalmer (JSM) Weekly Superfast Express came hurtling through the Up main line with a VCD fitted 22565 WAP- 4 of HWH shed in charge, it meets the 2 hours late running 13150 Alipur Duar (APDJ)- Sealdah (SDAH) KANCHAN KANYA Express,

which comes coasting through the Down reverse line with 16059R WDM- 3A of BWN shed. The reason for the coasting is that the very next station Kamarkundu (KQU) is a halt for the train. Location is Madhusudanpur on HB Chord enroute
The regular link of Howrah- Jaisalmer Express is a WAP-4, but gets WAM-4 occasionally. The train uses the lengthy Phalodi- Bikaner- Ratangarh- Churu- Old Delhi- Moradabad- Bareilly- Lucknow Charbagh- Rae Bareli- Partapgarh- Varanasi- Mughal Sarai- Gaya- Dhanbad- Asansol- Howrah route of NWR/ NR/ ECR/ ER to cover 2255 kms in 40h 10m with 26 halts (2 of them temporary on experimental basis).
Kanchan Kanya Express follows the Alipur Duar- New Mal- Siliguri- New Jalpauguri- Kumedpur- Malda Town- Farakka- Rampurhat- Bolpur Shantiniketan- Budwan- (Chord)- Sealdah route of NFR/ ER to cover 741 kms in 15h 30m with 23 halts.
This is my second crossing of an alco and an electric at this location.
Railfan Souvik Sarkar (IRI Admin) is also seen in the video.

    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...
