Bhor Ghat section - ये ना ही है जन्नत, ना ही इधर है कोई पर्वत, यह जगह है हर एक Railfan का जो सबकी पूरी करे मन्नत - Sahil Khandare

I went on a trip and wrote about it in my 12358 trip diary. Trains were all delayed in the Spn_Lko section, so I thought my train from Lko would also be delayed. But it only got delayed by 30 minutes till Kakori which was cool. Then we stopped at Kakori for an hour and finally got to Lko at 9.53 pm. The train was packed with peeps because of Holi and its popularity. The Lko_Bsb section was chill cause it only stopped at Utraitiya jn, but still took 4.15 hours. Got to Gaya in the morning at 6.30 am. We had no pantry car and no catering hawker showed up until we got to Dhanbad. We finally got to Dhanbad at 9 am covering the journey in 11 hours. Fun fact - I saw the 13308 train at pf 2 which took 21 hours to cover lko-Dhn stretch, while our train took only 11.5 hours to reach Bsb and departed Gaya at 1 pm today.

12358 trip diary. Sabhi trains Spn_Lko section mein late ho jaane ke kaaran maine bhi apni train Lko se late hone ka socha tha. Par as expected, train ne sirf Kakori tak 30 min ki late shuru ki. Fir Kakori mein ek ghanta rukaavat hui aur train Lko mein shaam ko 9 baje 53 min par pahunchi. Train bhadkeeli ke kaaran bheed bahut thi. Lko_Bsb section mein train Utraitiya jn. par ruki aur sab kuchh theek thaak chala. Bas, 4 ghante 15 min mein poora travel ho gaya. Subah Gaya mein 6:30 baje pahuncha, khana-peena ka intezam bhi nahi tha, yahan tak ki catering wale bhi nahi aaye the jab tak hum Dhanbad nahi pahuch gaye. Dhanbad station par 9 baje pahunch gaye aur 11 ghante mein travel ko poora kiya. Fun fact hai ki hamari hamdardi yukt krawler train Lko se Dhanbad tak pahunchne mein 11.5 ghante laga aur 13308 number train ne Lko-Dhn stretch ko 21 ghante mein travel kiya tha, aur platform 2 par dikhaai di. Aaj, train 1 baje ko Gaya se nikli hai.
