****The Rushour at Agra Cantt. i.e 17:00 -18:00 Hrs , For the departure of The Fastest Train of India -***
12049/Gatimaan Express | गतिमान एक्सप्रेस | | گتیمان ایکسپریس | First Ever HD Images From Agra.
Last Year This train made its way onto the platform of Agra Cantt with much fanfare with a lot of Assumptions/speculations from Fellow Railfans here on IRI terming it'll be White Elephant, Won't be ever on time. Will be delayed etc etc.. But this train silently Put those allegations/speculations to Rest with On Time Arrivals(except

Fog season) and Availability. I myself agreed with the second Half, but to my surprise, actual availability and occupancy Differ from Site to Location.
Just Witnessed The Fully Packed, On time Running Gatimaan Express at Agra Cantt. One needs to be present personally to Witness themselves about how Gatimaan has been Treated more than any other VVIP trains At Agra Cantt.
On one hand, Where Train Hostess adds beauty and sense of perfection, Male Catering Staff in Sherwani Outfit reminds me of Staff in Luxury trains in Inda.
then comes the Security Staff of the train with guns at their side, rushing here and there, Escorting the Train before it's departure. PF 6 at this time was hustling with crowd, people were posing with the train board and Hostess then there was me, Just trying to get TB , Loco and Train ki Pic :p
Find Attached HD Pics of Gatimaan Express, with Mr. Azad Singh (RPF-NR DLI Div.) posing with the train and Md. Sartaj of ShreeNathJI Caterers (Outsourced Catering Staff of the Train) helping Last Moment passenger with their coach position. in 5/6 ,7th Pic Respectively.
Loco in Charge was GZB WAP-5 30086 But as soon as the train departed, a surprise was waiting for me, Gatimaan's Another Loco i.e GZB WAP-5 30020 was Standing beside the PF Line. that means Two Dedicated locos were at Agra At this time. Further investigating the matter I came to conclusion(Talk with Staff at AGC) that after incidents of OHE Breaking and Loco getting failed few times, One Loco is kept at each End in the case of Emergency.
Further, I Noticed GZB WAP5 #30020 Met with an accident at 160kmph today when coming to Agra. Loco had Runover, with Blood Stains All over the front of WAP-5 , it was so intense that Blood Stains were also present at the End of EOG(Notice the Last Pic of EOG for Stains at the end) .
Enjoy the Pics. :) Few more will be added later on.
