BHOPAL SHATABDI EXPRESS SHATTERS CHATA AT 150 KMPH : FASTEST TRAIN OF INDIA:KING OF INDIAN RAILWAYS
Indian Railways : Seen in video is Fastest Train of India - popularly called King by railfans due to its top notch aggression at 150 kmph and only train in India to reach the speed of 150 kmph "12002/New Delhi - Bhopal Habibganj Shatabdi Express" hauled by its customary link Ghaziabad [GZB] WAP-5 #30030 at 150 Kmph shattering Chata [CHJ] station of North Central Railways [NCR] and overtaking AJNI [AJNI] WAP-7 hauled 18238/Chhattisgarh Express, which is I guess first time seen on YouTube, usually this overtake happens later on after Mathura Junction.

endeavor to capture Bhopal Shatabdi Express at 150 kmph started early morning at 4:30 as soon as I boarded 18238/Chhattisgarh Express from NZM. God decided to raise the level of excitement and we were kept waiting at Okhla station for 45 mins due to a rail fracture ahead upto around 5:45 AM. When train didn't move for almost 40 mins I was sure that I am going to miss the capture of KING doing flat 150 kmph as Bhopal Shatabdi leaves NDLS at 6:00 AM and we were mere 7.4 Km away from NDLS so overtake probably would take place before Asaoti, the place from where Bhopal Shatabdi hits a notch of 150 kmph. But to our surprise 18238/Chhattisgarh Express departed Okhla and WAP-7 performed at its peak and the overtake finally took place at Chata which is 110 Km from NDLS. As soon as 18238/Chhattisgarh Express went into loop, mainline starter turned green and I ran upto the end of the station as fast as I can and as soon as I turned on my camera KING approached at 150 kmph overtaking 18238/Chhattisgarh Express and crossing me in its full might and my endeavor was successfully completed, which is I guess every railfan's dream.
I dedicate this video to all my fellow railfans who have always been with me in this continuous journey of what we love to do called "RAILFANNING". Special thanks to Tarun Tyagi, Anirudh Jolly and Anirudh Kaushik for helping me out on my this railfanning trip.
