Good morning all railfans!! When I was recording this video, the time was 05:03 am to be precise. Due to the failure of the customary GZB WAP- 7, the offlink 22377 HWH WAP- 4 was pressed into service. And man, what a performance it...
more... showed!! Seen here is the Wappie blasting at a continuous MPS of 130 km/hr with the 17 coach load in between Allahabad and Kanpur, i.e. a stretch which is considered to be one of the busiest in the country. While travelling in between Allahabad- Kanpur- Tundla, you are guaranteed to get a crossing in every 5 minutes, or even less. Be it freight, Passenger, Express or some elite class trains. Note how beautiful the bright LED signal lights look in sharp contrast with the pale background scenario. They were installed for smooth and safe movement of traffic in the heavy foggy months of November- February in a stretch which was earlier very much notorious for numerous accidents.
