WDP4B Kolkata Dibrugarh SF overtakes WDP4B Legend Darjeeling Mail, saying Good Morning...
Azamnagar Road, Bihar..
Bang on time running 12343 UP Darjeeling Mail was made to stand aside to let the 12525 UP Kolkata - Dibrugarh Dihing/Indrani SF Express to pass, which was supposed to run ahead of...
more... us throughout the journey, but due to some reasons, we were leading. However, our leading was now over, but was a twist again...
Locos - Indrani Express has Tughlakabad WDP4B 40050 in LHF mode. The Mail had Siliguri WDP4B 40037 in SHF mode...
Actually there was a cat and mouse change between the two, since last night. Both had reached New Farakka the same time, and we were allowed ahead. We had reached Malda Town @3:40, i.e 35 minutes ahead of time...just before our departure from there @4:25, 12525 slowly crept in. We were allowed to proceed....now here at Azamnagar, we are looped aside for the overtake...now you will be surprised to know that we re-overtook 12525 at Rangapani, the station before New Jalpaiguri and reached the destination before..by then we were 40 minutes late...
The overtake was useless...
