Furious Tatanagar WAP7 Storms With Ispat Express

Yesterday I had a short railfanning trip at multiple spots around PKU-Panskura Junction which is on the busy Howrah Kharagpur line under the South Eastern Railway Zone. This section is not new to local and distant railfans and needs no special introduction.

This region/ section gives a great oppertunity to the railfans to spot some cool trains, and some very special ones, which usually do not have any stop overs here and runs at high speed. I managed to do a great deal of railfanning and spotted some cool train pass throughs. While I now have a big inventory of my spottings, I shall share them on this blog, on Youtube and my other social media handles in due course.

This post is about the Tatanagar WAP7 no 30535. It literally made my day as it stormed with the 12871 Howrah to Titlagarh Ispat Express.

Here is the video of the train storming through the HWH KGP line near PKU:

Now this loco is not new to my blog. It made multiple appearances here. Do you all remember the Cotton-ball Kitty post?? Here is the video below, and read it again here:

It was then spotted at Shalimar Railway station taking out the 12885 Aranyak Express and having a sore throat, (It seems the sore throat problem is cured!! BTW SHM which is also my and my blog's home station) on 25th September (same day/ date as that Cottonball Kitty post). Watch the video here (below), and read the post again:
