Thumping overtake at Chinchwad : A late running Chennai Express goes beserk through the Chinchwad curve, trying to make up for its lost time.

Soon after passenger train arrived, a surprise long BCNA rake with twin WCG1 came from Lonavala side and was looped here. Hence Bang on time running Chennai Express was slowed down between Malavli and Akurdi. So 25 minutes after the arrival of Karjat Pune shuttle, came the furiously smoking and honking Alco, negotiating the huge curve at MPS! Enjoy the MPS...
