A pleasant surprise at Howrah right at the start of the day....
.
The idle rake of Kalka Mail at PF 8, painted in its new avatar. The rake was not assembled properly, as can be seen in Pics 2 and 3. A3 is before the SLR, and the Sleeper Coaches are from S1 to S11. So, totally jumbled up. Plus, this was not the rake of the Kalka Mail which arrived today morning. This was a totally new rake.
.
...
more...

This rake was standstill for around an hour from 8 am. to 9 am. There was a shunter at the front end (as seen in Pic 1) and a HWH WDM-3D at the other end.
.
Strange to see coaches being shunted to the platform without reason, that too at a railway station as busy as Howrah.
.
Clicked today.

exactly. ye railway ke liye foolproof nahi he. charo taraf se station to gher ke rakhenge tabhi successful hoga. aur ye gates bottlenecks create karenge major railway station pe jaha pe inki sabse zada zarurat hogi.

Re# 3389962-6              
people are street smart they will find a hack. 1stly railway need to make their premises like the metro premises then it can be implemented. we need to overhaul our ticketing system which will generate qr codes on all railway stations. this idea is good but i think railways should consider all possibilities and check all pro and cons and evaluate before implementing. some cons are people deboard before station at the outer. enter from the railway line side. huge bottlenecks.

In the history of the world this would be the largest scam that will go unnoticed. A exam of this level surely have a impact by the controllers and every zone has its own responsibility. They will be definitely cases like ruby. This exam should be monitored and audited by a separate body(maybe a bench of supreme court judges) of high class and responsible officer. And all the timeline should be decided before. The negotiations for corruption and fudging of exam results delays process.

I was on 12323 a day before yesterday. At Mugalsarai(MGS) train departed 4mins earlier than its schedule time. Signal was given 10min earlier to start the train. But it didn't started moving so the announcement was made on speaker to the Guard to let the train move and train started leaving station at 5:16 even though its departure is 5:20. Signal was given around 5:10.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
