Ammi Jaan kahti thi Railfanning se bada koi dharm nhi hota or koi Railfan chhota nhi hota - Shanzil Kabir

Due to the closure of the DHN-CRP line this train has been cancelled indefinetely!
However in the recent meeting held between ER, ECR & SER at Garden Reach [News Entry# 306136] /news/post/306136 , This train along with a few others is said to be diverted between DHN & BKSC via PEH, BJE.

I also felt it necessary to speed up the train between CRJ & DHN to disturb the TT after DHN as less as possible... This was also done to prevent a probable slot clash with Black Diamond At DHN the E-loco gets attached at the front side while the D-loco remains attached at the hind-side, the train undergoes QLRs at PEH & BJE, at BJE the D-loco is detached and the train continues it's forward journey with the attached E-loco...
Due to the generous slack that this train was awarded in it's TT, it was possible to stretch the overall TT just by 15 mins, that is, this train takes only 15 mins extra to cover up the overall journey but the resultant TT had to be made tighter with less slack-time been alloted...
Please flag this train and suggestations for further improvement are always welcome :)
