Full journey compilation from Kolkata to seashore Digha in wet monsoon!! Train journey in extreme downpour!!!
.
This video comprises a journey from Kolkata to Digha, a popular sea- shore in the state of West Bengal. The journey was undertaken last year during the monsoon season, when I did a journey on- board 18001 Howrah (HWH)- Digha Flag Station (DGHA) KANDARI Express. Loco link of our train were 23058 and 23179 WAG- 5A Twins from Tatanagar shed, making it the only train in India to have twin E-Loco fixed link.

accelerate immediately after clearing the points at Howrah station outers, where we get to witness the NJP Shatabdi Express, and a JMP WDM- 2. After having a small parallel action with a HWH WAP- 4, we diverge from the ER lines, and race past the Tikiapara EMU Car Shed. Rain continuously gives us company as we race towards our destination, only stopping to give the scheduled halts at Santragachi Junction, Uluberia, and Mecheda enroute.
After Narayan Pakuria Murail station, we branch off the main Howrah- Kharagpur route, and take the Panskura- Haldia branch line. At Tamluk Junction, we bid goodbye to the lines heading to Haldia, and take the single line to Digha. Interestingly, we start our journey in a quadruple line journey, then we move in triple line section, then a double line section, and finally a single line section.
On the journey, we cross three important rivers, namely Damodar, Rupnarayan and Haldi. At Deshapran Halt, we meet the Digha Howrah DURONTO Express. Two more scheduled halts enroute in the rural Bengal, namely Kanthi and Ramnagar Bengal, we finally arrive at Digha Flag Station, a few minutes before time.
