Presenting the pics of my forever last journey in Dhanbad - Chandrapura section . . .
Date - 24 March 2017 , My brother & I decided to go Bokaro for a railfanning trip in DC section . By reading the news of the closure of DC line in the newspapers from so many years , this time we were almost sure that this gonna be our last journey in this awesome route .

- Muri Passenger , one of the lifeline of Dhanbad was placed on Pf - 6 . Its schedule departure was at 18:00 hrs , but that day 11448 Shaktipunj Exp was a bit delayed and the controllers never allowed this passenger to move ahead of Shaktipunj so we had to wait . As soon as Shaktipunj departed the WAP 4 whistle blew and we moved .
The Railway board may construct an alternative route but the beauty of this section is still unmatched , I will badly miss the journeys in DC section . Don't know how much time the people of this area will be able to recover this heavy and ir replaceable loss
Pics 1 - 4 are clicked at Dhanbad Jn and 5 & 6 are clicked at Chandrapura Jn

Note here 'Third Class' refers to a now extinct form of accomodation started by the English for transportation of common Indians...
