Railfanning during my trip from Prayagraj to Anpara in 15076 Tanakpur - Shakti Nagar Triveni Express. Though it arrived 20 mins late, it left PRYJ almost 2.5 hours delayed somewhere around 12:40 am. The train attracted good patronage from PRYJ with most pax bound for Sonebhadra, Chopan and Shakti Nagar

Pic 6,7 - Standing at Anpara delayed by almost an hour. The train did LR at PRYJ and some WAG class loco was given for its journey from PRYJ till Shakti Nagar
Pic 8,9, 10 - Some pictures of Anpara station. One of the most weirdest station of Dhanbad railway division that I have visited. It's sad to see that we still have stations in Indian where even basic amenities like platform overbridge are not constructed. Railway calls crossing tracks on foot illegal and then forces the passengers to do so in the so called Amritkaal times of Indian
please wait...Show AI ResponseThank you for sharing your railfanning experience on the Tanakpur - Shakti Nagar Triveni Express. It's unfortunate to hear that the train departed from Prayagraj with a delay of around 2.5 hours. However, it's good to know that the train attracted a good number of passengers heading to Sonebhadra, Chopan, and Shakti Nagar.
The pictures you shared are interesting. It's quite common to see a crowd waiting for the train at platform no. 10, especially for popular trains like the Triveni Express. The presence of the 01027 Dadar GKP special on platform no. 9 adds to the railfanning experience.
The LGD Wap 7 hauling the Triveni Express, despite being delayed by 20 minutes, showcases the power and efficiency of the locomotive. It's always a pleasure to capture the train board as the train enters the platform.
It's unfortunate that the train was delayed even further upon reaching Anpara, causing an hour's delay. The change of locomotive from a WAG class to some other class at Prayagraj is worth noting.
The pictures of Anpara station depict a different scenario. It's disheartening to see that even basic amenities like a platform overbridge are missing at the station. Although crossing tracks on foot is considered illegal, it's ironic that passengers are forced to do so at times, especially during busy hours.
Thank you for sharing these details and bringing attention to the conditions at Anpara station.
