Nothing as such to focus or speak as this has been another those Good Old Journey's where the train had kept us its timings on all stations albeit a few of those.
The person in A1-23 was asked to adjust with another in HA1 and the lady who exchanged in his place had other family members in 2 bays from mine one. hence she was more interested to sit within her family members than to distract me from railfanning.
Excellent Speed and acceleration with the KJM shed WDP-4B 20041.This is the first time...
more... i have been in a train with a WDP-4x and it's really awesome.
However thanks to Rajagopal** that i have to run all through the train at BZA Station to see my engine which has been doing so well from SC-almost 19 coaches i have to walk/jog(run) which took flat 5 minutes.
However it's a pleasure being on call for Railfanning and i didn't feel at all bad for that.
As railfanning continues from the SLB Window, i pleasured myself to outside scenaries and the railway lines and connectivities which Vijayaditya** explained me the bifurcation (507902-74 for my question "It diverts off frm here.Frm SC to Pagidipalli , there were LIVE OHE poles.Which lines are those?)
Also noteworthy the cleaniness made by the HouseKeeping Staff onboard adding to the Sumptupous Dinner (First time i had such heavy dinner in any train except obviously are in RAJ and Duronto) with RICE,2 pcs Parantha,DAL,Mixed Veg,Muttor Paneer,PAPAD,SALAD and Curd with Pickle,Salt pouchand ONE packed AMUST Glass of water).
Nothing Extra-ordinary till Khurda Road where it stopped for 15 minutes ; later understood from the PC Staff that Lunch items were loaded from KUR.Asked why not from BBS because Duronto does load Food items from BBS.They said that probably they would not be able to service 2 such trains at short interval- hence they were serviced from KUR.
However the quality of RICE i must say was pretty poor in LUNCH while the other items remains the same.
The train was doing its task very well i.e to maintain its TT as was put in by the Railway board and was excellent till benapur.However it was delayed by 15 mins at KGP and it never could make up by Santragachi because obviously it has to slow down atleast THRICE till Mechada.
from Mechada, there was an MPS run which meant that it was maintaining that 15 minutes delay at SRC and nothing Extra would be added to it.
Forgot to mention 2 things.
1.WashRoom equipd wth Liquid Handwash,
2.Breakfast was OK wth Bread on which unwillingly Spread Butter wth Double Egg Omlette with Tomato Sauce Pouch.
