There is no more pure joy than RailFanning.

In my last train trip I learnt an important thing-if our train is stopped it means running our one train on time might mean late running for many other trains
Incident 1: Madurai junction 7:20PM on 20th april
A Twin WDM hauled Goods was put on platform 1-it was stopped there from 7:20PM-Pandiyan express scheduled to occupy the platform was in yard-After TEN-JAT link, SCT-MDU followed behind the heels of which was 16731 Mysore Express after which only the freight could move and Pandiyan could enter almost at 8PM only

6:45AM Baiyappanhalli Junction on 21st april
Our train wasnt stopped but 16525 was stopped despite running to time resulting in we running late but overtaking it-an analysis of timings reveal that owing to our stoppage at Thoppur for almost 40 mins for PDY garib rath 16528 from CAN was close on our heels-If we were stopped before BYPL, 16528 would have been halted at Bellandur Halt where no provision for crossing-so we get late, 16528 would have got late which would have resulted in 12677 waiting and also YPR-HSRA pass getting late because of these things-so instead of delaying 4 trains, one train was delayed
So fron these I leanrt-if next time our train gets an uscheduled stop better to analyse rather than complain- Tough job in IR!!
