Trip report and Pics from my trip from 12561 Swatantrata Senani SF Express yesterday.
Day before yesterday I had a ticket in Senani in B2,45.Train was running late by 5 hours.I had to go to Allahabad for my exams.Train arrived Sonpur at 00:05 and left at 00:08.SPJ WDM3D was leading.From Sonpur to Chhapra the train blasted at 100+ kmph and reached Chhapra at 01:05 and left Chhapra at 01:20.Coaches were shiny from outside and tip top clean from inside.After Chhapra the pathetic NER controlling started.It was halted at Gautamsthan for over 1 hour due to Rajdhani crossing.When our train halted Rajdhani had just left Ballia and our train could have easily reached upto Suraimanpur.Then after it ran well till Ballia.Then after I

slept.In morning we were crossing Nandganj when I awaked.After that it stopped several places for crossings.Most surprisingly it was also being halted for Demu/Passenger trains crossing,another pathetic mindset of NER controllers.Then we were halted at Varanasi city for Lko-Chhapra crossing.Then we reached Varanasi jn.It halted there for 10 minutes.At Varanasi outer we overtook Archana Express.Then after we reached Manduadih where our train was halted for one and half hour.There Udhana-Danapur crossed us but don't know why it was halted there for one more hour for no reason.Then after Senani showed its real power after Bhulanpur.From Bhulanpur to Allahabad the train just blasted enroute and from Gyanpur Road onwards it continuously ran at 100+ before being slowed down before Daraganj.Then from Daraganj to Allahabad it ran at app 50 kmph and that day no trolling happened.A straight entry was made to Pf7 of Allahabad.Overall journey was very comfortable,very less jerks and sounds.Clean toilets and basins.Beddings were also clean.A perfect ECR maintenance.Only one lack is that every time when the train started after halts ,it starts with jerks.
Cleanliness-10/10
Bedrolls-10/10
Safety-8/10(because upto Ballia no escort party there)
Punctuality-07/10(I give 7 because when ever it got clearance it ran on mps)
Controlling -04/10(very poor controlling by NER enroute)
Some pics of my journey yesterday --

Superb...
Fresh RF Post.
Now I am following a pattern of posting a week's captures in a single blog for everyone's convenience.
In this New Delhi trip I had the opportunity to meet Moderator Sir along with Goyal sir and Ratnakar.
Later met Mr 1A, Swaroop, at NDLS and then at TKJ Ratnakar, Swaroop and myself did RailFanning.
At

the end of the day Ratnakar returned to Jaipur by Mandore, Swaroop to Secunderabad by SBC Raj and I boarded NDLS SDAH Duronto for Kolkata.
Here are my RailFanning Pictures from 5th August 2019 to 9th August 2019.
Pictures 1 and 2 :- The Loco which hauled the 50th Anniversary Day Rajdhani. WAP 7 30568. It hauled my Raj as well on 5th August. On the next day Sealdah and Howrah Rajdhanis' link were swapped from NDLS. SR got 30568 and HR got 30458.
Pictures 3 ti 6 :- The coach I travelled in. I was alloted in B1 but as my friend was in B6, I too shifted to B6. The coach was of MCF and was made in January 2018.
Picture 7 :- Dhanbad small Station Board.
Pictures 8 to 13 :- Food of 12301 3A (Evening Snacks, Dinner, Desert, Bed Tea and Breakfast). Food was good. Samosa was bit oily.
Picture 14 :- Swatantrata Senani at Tilak Bridge on 6th August . It took an unscheduled halt of 6 minutes. Link was CNB P4 22300.
Picture 15 :- NDLS large Station Board with HWH WAP 7 30321 in the background. It was the link of Poorva on 6th August.
Pictures 16 to 19 :- Captured from 12260 Duronto,
post Gaya, while returning from NDLS.
Pictures 20 to 22 :- Captured ASN WAP 4 22773 and GZB WAP 5 30118 at Sealdah after deboarding from 12660 on 7th August.
Pictures 23 to 26 :- Captured today. GMO WAP 7 30530 (Ex VSKP) with 12260 and ASN WAN 4 with Lalgola Passenger at Sealdah.
Today was a day of Ex VSKP P7s as 12260 came with 30530 and Pratap with 30548. Anish captured it. He may post soon.
The last picture depicts the generation of E Locos. The Past Rulers and the Present Ones.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
