Railways should permanently cancel this train 12463/64 Jodhpur Delhi sarai rohilla rajasthan sampark kranti express and should run it from Bikaner on tri weekly basis on Tuesday Thursday Saturday or should give this train one more rake to run this train daily instead of tri weekly and railways should do rake sharing arrangement of this train with Jaisalmer Jaipur leelan express and should also give lhb rakes to leelan express and both trains will have 3 rakes of leelan express +2 rakes of rajasthan sampark kranti express total 5 rakes with primary maintenance at Bikaner or Lalgarh jn.

...
more...
AND AFTER DOING RAKE SHARING ARRANGEMENTS OF LEELAN EXPRESS AND
RAJASTHAN SAMPARK KRANTI EXPRESS RAILWAYS CAN EASILY RUN 14713/14 DELHI SARAI ROHILLA SIKAR INTERCITY ON DAILY BASIS INSTEAD OF BI WEEKLY AND SHOULD CHANGE COACH COMPOSITION OF ALL 5 RAKES OF THIS TRAIN LIKE THIS -
3 THIRD AC, 6 SLEEPER CLASS , 4 GENERAL CLASS AND 2 GENERATOR COACH TOTAL 15 COACHES.

And primary maintenance of 5 rakes can be done easily at Bikaner or Lalgarh because mumbai rajdhani and august kranti rajdhani also have 5 rakes and even after having 5 rakes primary maintenance both train is done nicely and daily without any secondary maintenence.

And should change timings of Lalgarh Jaislamer express after doing it's rake sharing arrangements with Rajasthan sampark kranti express like this-

LALGARH jn 09:10 nal halt 09:23-09:25 Gajner 09:42-09:44 kolayat 09:58-10:00 diyatra road 10:15-10:17 Nokhra 10:35-10:37 sird 10:55-10:57 bap 11:13-11:15 malar 11:33-11:35 Phalodi jn 12:00-12:05 Ramdevra 12:40-12:45 Pokhran 13:05-13:20 Jaisalmer 15:10.

JAISALMER 12:20 POKHRAN 13:45-14:10 RAMDEVRA 14:30-14:35 PHALODI Jn 15:15-15:20 malar 15:33-15:35 bap 15:53-15:55 sird 16:11-16:13 nokhra 16:30-16:32 diyatra road 16:48-16:50 Kolayat 17:05-17:07 Gajner 17:21-17:23 Nal halt 17:38-17:40 Lalgarh jn 18:20.

And railways should also change timings of 22464 Bikaner delhi sarai rohilla rajasthan sampark kranti express-

Bikaner jn 18:50 Nokha 19:43-19:45 Nagaur 20:25-20:30 Merta road jn 21:20-21:25 degana jn 21:57-22:00 makrana jn 22:32-22:35 Jaipur jn 00:30-00:30 Alwar jn 02:42-02:45 delhi cantt 05:00-05:02 Delhi sarai rohilla 05:30.

And should also change timings of 14714 delhi sarai rohilla sikar express -

14714 Delhi sarai rohilla 06:45 delhi cantt 06:55-06:57 Gurgaon 07:13-07:15 Rewari jn 08:00-08:05 Dahina Zainabad 08:28-08:30 mahendragarh 08:53-08:55 loharu jn 09:50-10:10 surajgarh 10:28-10:30 chirawa 10:41-10:43 jhunjhunu 11:08-11:10 dundlodh mukundgarh 11:33-11:35 nawalgarh 11:46-11:48 Sikar jn 12:35.

RAILFANNING AT MY HOMETOWN!
It was saturday the 25th of July, when I set off for Kolkata. I reached Dhanbad Junction at 10:00 AM so to click some photographs of Dhanbad Junction. I was aiming for the 12988 Ajmer-Sealdah Superfast and planned to avoid the 13152 JammuTawai-Kolkata Express.
The PRS came to life and announced that both of the train were delayed by over an hour. Still wanting to avoid the 13152 I took a stroll along Platform number 1, and clicked a few snaps.
As...
more...
it can be seen, it was a beautiful overcast morning, with occassional torrential downpour. The station drenched in the rains looked very fresh and was an eye-soother.
At 11:00AM sharp 53061 BWN-HTE passenger chugged in with a TATA WAM4, I couldnot take a picture as a freight train blocked the view as the passenger entered, simulataneously VSKP WDM3A 13282 chugged with the 12832 BBS-DHN Garib Rath. I was cursing the freight for a wasted oppurtunity,when all of sudden a twin-honk alerted me .I turned to see HWH WAP7 30311 pulling in 22387 HWH-DHN Black Diamond Express.
At 11:45AM the 68087 Bankura-Dhanbad came in,simultaneouslly 63522 GAYA-DHN-ASN memu chugged in.
At 12:00 sharp JAMMU-KOAA express came in. Majority of my fellow passengers got in, myself and the daily passengers waited on for the 12988 which the PRS announced would be arriving shortly. The daily passengers theorized that that 12988 would overtake 13152 sometime ahead, so it would be wise to wait for 12988. Why settle for Silver when you can get Gold,right!
An hour later we would be deeply regretting our decisions.
12988 came in with HWH WAP4 22286 at 12:15PM, I quickly scurried around looking for a seat. None, there was none, and none of the passengers around were inclined to share their precious seats. I stood at the door, amongst the commotion, hoping that I would get a seat at ASN. 1 hour of standing isn't such a bad deal ,right! Besides I was getting a beautiful view of the natural scenery and would be getting a good look at DHN trip Loco shed as the train would passby. I was happy.
The train waited and waited, would'nt start. Some of my fellow passengers started speculating that probably the incoming 12382 NDLS-HWH Poorva Express would be given track priority over the 12988 as Poorva was the senior train. An intimadating honk followed. I put my head out and saw MGS WAP4 22509 draw 12382 to a rest at platform no 2 beside my train. My heart sank! The daily passengers were right, Poorva would get track priority. I watched with a sad face, as almost all the daily passengers jumped ship to the Poorva. Only an old grumpy uncle remained. Like me he had purchased a ticket for SDAH. I stood there looking at probably two hour delay in my plans.
Half an hour went by, none of the two trains budged an inch. It was then a commotion was heard outside of the platform. I stepped out of the train,and went up to the Loco-Pilot to ask him about the cause of delay. What he said sank my heart!
What happened was that 13152 whilst passing through had tore open a piece of overhead wire with it's loco's Pantograph at Pradhankanta. Repairs were underway,it would take atleast two hours to get the wire functional again! I was devastated! In my imagination I could see the HWH WAP4 of the 13152 laughing out loud as it had prevented not one, but two of it's illustrious cousins to overtake it. The Jammutawai would reach KOAA on time, while the usually punctual 12988 and 12382 would reach their destinations atleast 3 hours late.
Meanwhile the 68088 Dhanbad-Bankura MEMU was ready to depart on it's homerun to Bankura, but was stuck at Platform 1A for the same reason. All these while Black and Garib Rath got shunted and 13352 ALLP-DHN express had arrived on Platform 7/8. Meanwhile the VSKP WDM3A was all over the place chugging around happily, honking heavily as if to remind us that it did'nt require the wires to move around.
It was 14:30PM.I was still conteplating the 13152's devillish act of jealously when suddenly there was a honk from one of the two WAP4s. I put my head out, and saw that it was ours.
Ours signal showed a faint yellow glow in place of the bloodish red, that was their until a few seconds ago. I turned to my right on hearing a noise and saw a mass immigration of passengers from the Poorva into our train. With a faint start, the train slowly started out of the platform. With multiple triumphant honks the WAP4 started accelerating out of DHN JN. We passed by Loco Shed but I wasn't interested anymore, I was simply too tired. The solitary WAP7 30311 was resting peacefully, two dirty MGS WAP4 lay as if dead, a very dirty rajdhani livered ancient MGS WAM4 was the only thing with it's panto on.
The end of the Dhanbad Loco Tank and the flash of green of the signal post were the sign that we were finally leaving DHANBAD behind.......and gradually speeding towards SDAH!
These are the clips that I clicked on that day:-
1,2 & 3 show WAP7 30311 getting ready to shunt the Black-Diamond Express
4 shows the BBS-DHN Garib rath in the background of the WAP7
4&7 are panoramas of DHN JN taken during a light shower.
5 shows 68088 ready for Bankura
6 Self Explanatory
8 & 9 show the unusually deserted trip Loco Shed from the platfrom
10&11 show the station during a light shower
12 shows HWH WAP4 22286 arriving with 12988 at platform 1
13,14,15 & 16 show the arrival of 12382 with MGS WAP4 22509
PS:- I reached SDAH at 19:00 hours that day. The train was stuck outside Dum-Dum Jn for a futher 1 hour.
The Poorva reached much before 12988
Call it Deja-vu but I spotted MGS WAP4 22509 next day at HWH station, shunting a LHB rake of the Poorva EXP.
Very soon, my return journey to DHN from HWH by 12340 HWH-DHN COALFIELD EXPRESS!

Re# 1557417-21              
Well it is not exactly Sealdah's fault. The confluence of so many railway lines at Dum Dum Jn doesn't make things easy for the Sealdah Control room. Priority is obviously given to the local trains, over the long running trains. However there is always room for improvement.
If HWH can manage surely SDAH can as well!
