Regular people go to see Taj Mahal. RailFans go to see Ghaziabad Jn. - Praveen

In my journey today in 12596 HS, I got the chance to enter guard cabin and have a talk with guard. There were few interesting points discussed (you might be aware of all of them, but I felt like posting)
1. The train is capable of 130 KMPH, but the loco pilot is trained to operate only at 110, so he is not doing MPS on anvt-cnb section.
2. Yesterday at Khurja, there was failure of some transceiver which caused signal failure in section.

At TDL, the trains at loop line pass with caution of 30KMPH. This cause trains to slow and possibly stand at outer if track not cleared.
4. HS stopped today at TDL as a passenger had medical emergency.
5. In NDLS- GKP section, the best train is my fav: Vaishali. It is board train, and given highest priority after premium trains (yes, I know it is well known fact)
6. In EOG, a permanent person is available who monitors the HVAC of the coaches.
7. The GZB-ALJN have too many passenger trains, and even Rajdhani can be stopped because of them if needed.
I have seen few interesting things as well:
1. As the TDL station is curved, and guard cannot give visual clearance to loco pilot, the clearance is given on walkie talkie by whistle to start the train.
2. When the train entered pf, guard instructed loco pilot that of have reached last coach and he can halt.
3. When the train started and reached mainline after pf, guard told loco pilot that main line reached, loop line finished. Virtually instructing him he can hit the MPS.
I will try to talk again, and get more interesting stuff.
