#Panvel - #Chiplun
.
After having a lot of Railfanning at Panvel, We departed almost 20 min late. Slowly and steadily we changed the track and came on main line. Dhannu picked up speed and blasted through Somatne and Rasayani. Rain started near Rasayani. A pleasant feeling in my mind when rain started, but same time i missed out the video of Coimbatore - Bikaner AC Superfast which blast past us in almost 7sec!!!!. Ran at MPS and came and stopped at unschedule halt at Apta(Film station). No crossing nor overtaking...
