My...
more... brother drops me at YPR around 5:20 in morning. The train was bang on time, standing on pf no. 2 when I reached. Train was headed with UBL WDP4 from UBL side. For onward journey (YPR-MAS), it gets WAM 4 of AJJ. Departed at 5:35 am, 5 min late, in opposite direction and crawls towards KRpuram, made 2 unscheduled stops in between YPR and BYPL, reached BYPL around 6:15 am, where SBC MAS shatabdi overtook us, with a good speed, headed with LGD white beauty WAP7, on adjacent track HWH-YPR express crawls towards YPR, to reach its final destination. Our train resumes for onward journey from BYPL around 6:25 am and reached KJM at 6:30 am, approx. 20 min late. Crossed WFD at very good speed, really WAMie was showing good aggression and i liked its loud honking, seems like its saying "get out of my way" :P, reached BWT 20 min late, and cover it's lost time between BWT and JTJ, many trains passed us in opposite direction. Train blasts continuously at 110kmph between JTJ and KPD, slowdowns at some places [really i was glad, it doesn't get special treatment, being a special train ;) ]and reached KPD 9:20 am, 8 min ahead of time on pf no. 3 as KPD-VILLUPURAM pass was standing on pf no. 2, on opposite direction Dibrugarh-YPR express heading towards YPR with WAP1 in charge, I deboarded at KPD, took auto and headed for VIT hostels.
