13302 Tatanagar - Dhanbad Swarna Rekha Express is about to leave from Tatanagar Platform 1. It's got a dirty-looking WAP-4 22569 from Samastipur. This pic was taken on May 20, 2023. This train blocks Platform 1 for a whopping 4 and a half hours! The pic was taken when the entire train had the old ICF Blue paint. But within a month, they replaced the Blue SLR with a fancy Utkrisht SLR (spotted on June 15, 2023). I saw the same loco with the same train two days later, on May 22, 2023 (last pic). This time, the train was on Platform 2 because Platform 1 was taken by 18185 Tatanagar Godda Express.

13302 Tatanagar - Dhanbad Swarna Rekha Express Tatanagar PF 1 pe, ganda dikhta hua WAP-4 22569 se Samastipur se, taiyar hai videsh ki taraf. 20th May 2023 ko capture kiya gaya. Ye train PF 1 ko poori tarah se 4:30 ghante tak block karti hai. Is photo ko capture kiya gaya jab rake bilkul ICF Blue livery mein tha. Ek mahine ke andar, Blue SLR ko Utkrisht SLR se badal diya gaya hai (15th June 2023 ko spot kiya gaya). Do din baad, 22nd May 2023 ko, wahi loco aur wahi train dekhi gayi (last pic). Is baar train PF 2 pe khadi thi kyunki PF 1 pe 18185 Tatanagar Godda Exp occupied tha.

Operational rukavat 12281 ko GAYA mein aur 13301 ko PEH mein ECR ke madhyam se vyavasaayik rukavat mein badal diya gaya hai.

Yo bro: Trains gonna halt at Barabhum, Santaldih, Jhalida and Kotshila stations.

SER: Barabhum, Santaldih, Jhalida aur Kotshila stations par train rukwana.

Dhanbad-Tatanagar-Dhanbad super fancy (Slowrekha :P) train on Platform 1 of Tatanagar. This is the cool upgraded coach I was talking about in this blog: /blog/post/5766206

These pics are one whole month old.
The engine was not yet connected for 13302.

Dhanbad-Tatanagar-Dhanbad Swarnarekha (Slowrekha :P) Express Tatanagar ke PF 1 par. Ye wahi ICF Utkrisht SLR hai jiske baare mein maine is blog mein baat ki thi: /blog/post/5766206

Ye pics ek mahine purani hai.
Loco abhi tak 13302 se attach nahi hua tha.

Man, the old Dhanbad - Jharia - Patherdih railway line in Dhanbad is just a relic now... It's heartbreaking to see this crucial link between Dhanbad & Jharia shut down about 11 years back. The Swarna Rekha Express used to pass through here. This pic is from Dhanbad, near the rundown Dhansar station close to Bank More area. #NiketKaran
