Madgaon end. Finally people started walking on Platforms thinking that its Mandovi Express. But sadly it was 04013/Vasco Da Gama - New Delhi AC SF Winter Special. Was shocked to see it. The day was Monday but this train doesn't passes Kankavli on Monday. It was hauled with WDG 3a #13255 of GTL which was seen by me at Dadar in 11003 Mumbai-Kankavli trip. It passed at Moderate speed and finally Announcement made of 10104. We moved towards our coach position. Finally the 'Hunk' WDP-4B #40015 with The 'King' Mandovi Express arrived Kankavli at 12:32. Lot of rush for this train. Quickly Entered and Quickly the train departed at 12:33. Was Blasting at high speed and finally we had putted on the loop line for the crossing of 12051 - Mumbai Madgaon Jan Shatabdi Exp. It crossed us and we departed. Arrived Vaibhavwadi at 12:51 and departed at 12:53. Was flying between Rajapur and Nivsar with taking stops as in TT we finally arrived Ratnagiri.

#Chiplun_to_Thane
After getting late for reaching Chiplun we quickly departed. After getting so much late, LP wanted to cover the delay made by Mandovi Exp. We quickly gained speed and touched MPS of KR and because of it My cam started giving me blur pics. Soon as we passed Anjani, Sun was at its last leg to disappear into the Big range of Sahyadri Mountains. We arrived Khed at 5:53pm. Departed quickly at 5:55. So again between Khed and Diwankhavti, Mandovi Exp was doing speed of 100km/hr above continuously. We passed Diwankhavti in full swing. The sky turned its colour in Orange/Pink. Again passed Vinhere at speed of 107km/hr which made my pic of SB full Shake. Finally Mandovi Exp LP

Broke rules and tooked the train above KR MPS and ICF coach Speed Restriction. Now i got little scared because as trains was passing from the bridges and viaduct which doesn't had any supports at side at speed of above MPS. Now started feeling very scared. So it time for Sape Wamne stn blast video but i wasn't that much fortunate because i started my cam in Pic clicking mode so no video was captured. But it passed Sape Wamne at speed of 116km/hr!!!(Touched this speed only for 5-6 sec). Speed was recorded by the Collage students who were my seatmates. Finally after breaking some rules we were putted at siding at Veer at 6:36pm.Finally after Having halt for 2-3 minutes Goods train appear with GOC WDG4. We Depart quickly at 6:40pm and Again gain speed but not MPS and above 100m/hr. It was doing 80km/hr now and arrived Mangaon at 6:53pm. Now i m in Sleepy mood. Arrived Roha and met Dadar-Ratnagiri Passenger which was already halted there. After departing Roha we gained a good speed and reached Panvel by 20:30pm(1 hr late). At panvel we met Diva-Roha Passenger which was waiting on PF#7 after which the place was taken by 04096/Hazrat Nizamuddin - Madgaon Winter AC Special which was almost 4 hrs lat had pure LHB. Soon we departed Panvel and arrived Thane at 9:30 pm. The whole PF#6 got crowded as passengers delighted Mandovi Express.
