Rescheduled and 11 hours late running 18005 Howrah (HWH)- Sambalpur (SBP)/ Koraput (KRPU)- Jagdalpur (JBP) SAMALESHWARI Express headed by a furiously honking and extremely aggressive 22637 WAP- 4E of SRC shed thunders through the Up Reverse line on SER's HWH- KGP stretch, and overtakes a loaded BOBYN rake cruising through the Up main line. Note how the flagman and the loco pilot of the Waggie heading the freight shows green flag to the loco pilot of the Wappie. The reschedule was due to the ban of passenger traffic movement on Kharagpur- Tatanagr stretch during that time as an aftermath of the Jnaneshwari Super Deluxe sabotage.
Note that the rake has a SLR in the middle of the rake. After the train reaches Sambalpur, the rear end of the rake is detached, and the front portion carries its journey towards Jagdalpur. Earlier, it used to run till Korapur, but from July 30, 2012, the route has been extended till Jagdalpur. The train follows Howrah- Santragachi- Kharagpur- Tatanagr- Chakradharpur- Rourkela- Jharsaguda- Sambalpur- Balangir- Titlagarh- Rayagada- Koraput- Jeypore- Jagdalpur route of SER/ ECoR.
Giving me company on the trip was railfan Vivian Boye.
