was my #first journey with 12542 Mumbai LokmanyaTilakTerminus - Gorakhpur Sant Kabirdham Express and I was reached at my boarding point the heart of India and IR, Bhopal junction bang on the time by my favorite router #INDB_HBJ_DD express. After having dinner outside at BPL station I came to BPL station, 23:30 was the time and now legends of the route are playing their cards on the rails, I decided not to sit and keep doing Railfanning with flashing :P,
.
Started with bhopal #SB, I noticed some one just standing behind me and it was KK's LP and furiously my cam targeted the #LDH #WAP-4 wth this Train in which distance restriction for General traveler is 600kms. Flashing with Train board I went to the end of the train and Opened my lappy just to check out the arriving train... and after this I captured #ED #WAP-4 #KSK followed by #LGD #WAP-7 MAS_Rajdhani on pF#1 and then came to #pf 3 for #ET WAP-4 Shridham express and then I heard announcement of late running #NZM_LTT_AC_EXPRESS.. and just tighten my shoes and ran towrads pf#1 and captured it.. till then I was enough tired and just wanting some sleep but a RF couldn't sleep in night, when he is at BPL junction. #Raptisagar came with making 1 hrs delay and then Finally announcement made for the SKD.
.SKD was the only train I noticed that came with minimum delay of 20 mins...
all other were running not less then 1 hrs.
I just remembered the time cover by #SKD b/w Bhusaval and khandwa... a 2hrs 30 min late running train made an 5min late entry to khandwa.. and thats a true #WAP-7 Jalwa.
.
I searched for my seat where somebody already enjoying the free berth sleep, I got adjusted very fastly saying the party is over now.. coz we are in bhopal and this is my seat....!!
.
I covered myself with blanket and just in few minute of departure from bhopal I slept with listen the furious track sounds and honking of lovely AJni #Wap-7.
.
To Be Continued...............!!
