"Am I really in non-ac First Class?" - Boarding the Nainital Exp. at Aishbagh (Aug. 8, 2011) : An attempt to portray the range of emotions that a railfan goes through when he/she is about to embark on a long-anticipated journey. In this case, it was the prospect of traveling in non-ac First Class and that too, on a premier MG train; I could hardly contain myself :-) Fortunately, I could share these magic moments with Dheeraj Sanghi, Samar Hussain and Parthajit Dasgupta.

Nainital Exp. Trip - Part 1 : Aishbagh till Sitapur (Aug. 7, 2011) - Samar, Parthajit and myself traveled in non-AC First Class and enjoyed every moment of it. Night-time travel has its own charm and the video attempts to reinforce that notion. Included here are various crossings, the Gomti bridge, YDM4A horn and chugs, coach interior and more.

(MG) Nainital Exp. Trip - Part 2 : Sitapur to Pilibhit (Aug. 7-8, 2011) - The second and final part of this memorable trip! The highlight was meeting our mate - the Aishbagh-bound Nainital Exp. - at Mailani.

Nainital Exp departs from Pilibhit (Aug. 8, 2011) - After alighting from our non-AC First Class coach at Pilibhit, we headed straight for the loco to get a closer look. Soon after that, we were enjoying hot chai, even as our train inched out of the station and headed towards Bhojipura.
