2 were going to Gorakhpur in Gorakhdham.
1 was going to Kanpur by Shivganga
And 1 was going to Allahabad by Rewa superfast.
We reached at Ndls Railway Station around 6:15pm, My friends took place on 14/15no. Pf and i stand in queue for buy unreserved ticket. Queue was not so much long so i got ticket within 10 minuts. During standing in queue i was looking the displays in which all morning trains was showing delayed by more then 14 hours. I thought that there is some error ,suddenly i saw Magadh(12401) assuming delayed by 16 hours.I took ticket and went to pf 14 with sad mood. I told my friends that Magadh have not came till now from patna also, They started loughing on me and said that we will reach our home before then you. Suddenely i thought that i can catch any train to Agra, i looked a train standing on pf 13 having loco towards Agra. I asked from my friends about that train then they said it is GOMTI. I told a buy to them all and took place in that train with assuming Agra Intercity. I was assuming him intercity bcoz i thought that Gomti can ot be too much delayed. That was an unreserved coach which was 2nd from engine. As i boarded in train train started moving, It was 18:45. Only 2 other pax in my coach, I asked from him that which is this train then they told me that this is around 5 hour late running Gomti. I sured that it was Gomti as we skipped Shiwaji Bridge.

Part 2
Very soon train crossed Yamuna river and started doing 50-60kmph. I skipped Chandarnagar and Anand Vihar very soon but speed got down at Sahibabad . It crossed Sahibabad at 20 then till GZB it remained in 20kmph. I thought that at GZB train become crowdy but i socked bcoz all passengers from my coach deboarded at GZB. Train reached GZB at 19:25 and departed at 19:29. At same time i saw Farakka Going towards delhi. Again i socked and started thinking that what is happened with most trains?? IS THERE any accident. Suddenly i remember the accidents which was happened within few days . Gorakhdham was messed in Prayagraj and MAgadh was hitted by Lichhavi. Shramshakti also hitted by Kalindi.

Train started slowly from GZB, I was alone in my coach. Very soon train strted hitting 50kmph. Icalled tro my home and told him that i will reach home around 10:30pm. Actualy i had not any experience of fog delayed trains at that time. But after Maripat train slowed down at 30kmph. I thought that line is bloking so train running slowly for signal clearance but train did not got sppeding up after crossing DADRI too. I came on door for watching the moment. I was alone in my coach. But as i looked , I heavlyly socked. There was a very high density fog. I could not see my full coach from outside. Every side only fog. I can easily listen the sounds of firecrackers on track. I could see signals just when piler came in the front of my coach. I open the second door and watch situation of up line, Purushottam was going towards delhi. I tried to read the SB from that side but totaly failed on the front of fog. At 08:05pm I saw Dankaur SB . that was also not clearly vision. I saw Gorakhdham express going to delhi at same time. Crawling of train was unbelievable for me at that time. On railway crossings i could not saw the vehicles waiting for opening of Fatak. Train was not exceed more then 25kmph till Khurja . AT 10:10 i reached Khurja. At same time i saw Howrah Rajdhani Going to delhi. Train departed after 5 mins and reached at 50kmph. I thought that now NCR has over so may be less fog ahead but as Urban area crossed, Again fog attacking heavily . Visibility was hardly 2or 3 mtrs. Again firecrackers blasting. Every signal was green but then after train crawling like red signal ahead. I saw Sealdah rajdhani and Bhubneswar rajdhani on other line. But as train entered in Urban area of Aligarh , train picked up speed. Train reached Aligarh junction at 00:40. Janta was standing on pf4. And Magadh was departing from pf3. Train departed from Aligarh Junction at 00:45.

Very soon posting last part.
