18102 Jammu Tawi- Tatanagar/ Hatia (Hatia portion now extended till Rourkela) Express headed by an offlink 16814 Abu Road (ABR) Baldie WDM- 2A slowly makes its way to Pathankot. And while doing so, we cross a Hydraulic DEMU, Delhi- Amritsar- Pathankot- Bhatinda Passenger, and 14035/14036 Old Delhi- Pathankot DHAULADHAR Express (via...
more... Rohtak, Dhuri, Ludhiana, Jalandhar Cantt.), which has rake sharing with 14037/14038 Old Delhi- Pathankot Express (via Panipat, Ambala Cantt., Ludhiana, Amritsar). Here, the train gets a loco reversal, after which it heads towards Amritsar via Bharoli. While coming from Jammu Tawi to Pathankot, the train skips Bharoli. But while going from Pathankot to Amritsar, it halts at the same station. Superfast trains like Rajdhani, Uttar Sampark Kranti, Himgiri, Duronto, etc head towards Chakki Bank directly from Bharoli, thus bypassing Pathankot. At Amritsar, the train gets yet another rake reversal with a change of loco from WDM to WAP- 4/5/7 before heading towards Delhi.
