Hello Members, On 24 Nov I boarded Porbandar-Howrah Super Fast Express from Rajkot Juction travelling to Howrah Junction. I wanted to share a few photos taken from my Samsung Mobile GT-C3312.
Its the 1st time I've ever taken such photos and posted on a social site. Please excuse the flaws found on my shots.
The description of photos is as follows:
Photo 1 :

On 24 Nov whilst waiting for my train 12906 to arrive on platform no.1 @ Rajkot Junction, I noticed that one of the pipes - used to fill the train tanks - had its valve open and water was gushing out. An un-necessary wastage of precious water.
Luckily one Railway employee passed by and I drew his attention to the open valve, who promptly got down to the other side and closed the valve.
Photo 2 : The diesel loco that drags this train from Porbandar to Ahmedabad, chugging in @ Rajkot Junction, right on its scheduled time.
Photo 3 : My coach in which I was alloted a side upper berth.
Photo 4 : Near the wash-room, this house-keeping leaflet was pasted. Regretably, the house keeping staff were not efficient in their duties. ( I will also be complaining about it to the Railway Ministry very soon).
Photo 5 : Railway staff @ Bilaspur Junction reparing the broken door of one of the toilets inside the 3AC coach. This toilet had a broken door right from Porbandar. Passengers faced a lot of in-convenience with just one washroom on one side of the 3AC coach.
Photo 6 : My co-passengers were a family and their two daughters were fighting to play the Angry Birds Game on their father's mobile. I was saddened to see such 'mobile mania' among today's toddlers and infants.
Photo 7 : My train hauled by a BRC WAP4 Loco entered Howrah Station 30 minutes before time and resting after its exhaustive journey.

Frankly speaking I haven't received any official report from the Railway Ministry. But on a personal level, I've observed (whilst passing through the Su'nagar - V'gam section), WORK OF TRACK DOUBLING IS GOING AT A SNAIL'S PACE.
Yeh 'sarkaari' maamla hai bhaiya.

I am surprised to know this,coz I had heard that the project will be completed by June 2014.But,on witnessing all this,I don't think that the project will be accomplished by that deadline unfortunately.Btw,did you see any fair work on Sabli Road Lilapur Section which is targeted to be doubled by the last day of this year?
P.S. the pics clicked by you are eye-catching Abbas bhai!Fabo!!!!!
