Nice story, and you are right we railfans always think when we board any train that any train will not overtake us, our train will run faster, we think about it until we reach our destination, but these things happens only when we board trains like duronto, rajdhani etc. I also always used to think like you when I board a normal express train, but this does not happen when I board trains like 12246/12245.
