Locos: #14140 and #16861 Tondiarpet Alcos.
My...
more... tickets in 3ac were in WL without much of movement till end,was very uncertain, but got confirmed after charting.
Regular Tondiarpet alcos were incharge of this journey right from MAS. I boarded at Yelahanka were it arrived on time. After settling down started Railfanning while nearing Dodballapur.
Train got great priority in SWR territory. Captured skipping Dodballapur, Makalidurga, Thondebhavi, Someshwara,Gauribidnur at MPS. Then we met Karnataka Sampark Kranti at 100kmph lead by KJM WDP4B at Viduraswattha. After scheduled stop at Hindupur overtook Kacheguda bound Prashanti Nilayam at Malugur and then waited for Kurla Express at Rangepalli.
Later of the day we crossed scenic Penukonda Jn at dusk and moved towards Sri Sathya Sai Prashanthi Nilayam.And with that we concluded for the day.
Next morning woke up and noticed we were approaching Daund Jn. Had breakfast as there was number of options available. Spotted KJM WDP4D with LHB rakes parked here.
Later we were put on loop at Visapur for back to back two crossings of Karnataka SK & SNSI-PVR Express.After few more skips we were put on loop at Sarola for crossing with Nagpur-Pune Superfast. We arrived Puntamba Jn bang on time for reversal to SNSI.TNP Alcos crossed us honking to move ahead towards final destination SNSI.The last pic in video was captured at Shirdi.
Overall a great journey concluded we arrived SNSI on time.
Cleanliness was good.
Thanks for watching.
