Mecheda Shalimar Local Takes Lovely Zig Zag Curves

The rail lines between PDPK and SHM have some beautiful short curves. It is always great to observe the trains taking to those cures while moving through both the station. Since the stations are quite close, and one is always the originating/ terminating one (SHM), so trains usually do not move at a high speed at this stretch. Today while I was waiting for the 22836 Puri Shalimar Weekly Superfast Express and the 12774 Secundrabad Shalimar Weekly AC Express (both were quite late), the 38312 Mecheda Shalimar EMU local came in. After leaving PDPK-Padmapukur, where I was standing, it took these lovely curves which I am sharing today.

You can watch the EMU local taking the curves here on the video link below:
