Photoblog: WAP4 Brothers At PDPK Outer

WAP4 Brothers at PDPK Outer | © Soumo's Railways

So I have another photoblog update today. I am yet to write down a new blog post for yesterday's video about the unusual offlink of BHILAI WAG7 that hauled the 22861 Rajya Rani Express. Maybe I will write that later today or later on [Edit: it is already updated, read it here], but now I thought of sharing another photoblog. This photo section is not often updated here on the blog, though I keep updating the instagram account regularly.

Today I stayed at PDPK and did not go towards Shalimar. I actually wanted to watch/ observe the inbound/ outbound trains in this route/ area which you can see in the picture above.

In this picture you can see SRC-Santragachi WAP4 (no. 22637) leaving after serving the inbound 22214 Patna - Shalimar Duronto Express, while VSKP-Visakhapatnam WAP4 (no. 25008) that was with the 22836 Puri-Shalimar Weekly SF Express can be seen waiting for the SRC WAP4 to clear the tracks, so that it can come in.

The 22836 Puri Shalimar and the 22214 Duronto Express both were almost on right time, despite dense winter fog. I was not at the station when the Duronto Express came in, but I checked NTES which notified that it came several minutes early than its actual arrival time!

While I have made both videos of the SRC-Santragachi WAP4 leaving and the 22836 Puri Shalimar train coming in, I shall share them on my YouTube in due course. I hope you will enjoy this update of the Photoblog section.
