VSKP-Visakhapatnam WAG9-H (no. 31638) and SRC-Santragachi WAP4 (no. 22350) shares a cool moment of friendship by going home (aka the loco shed) together.

The VSKP WAG9 loco waited earlier for quite some time for the SRC WAP4. When the SRC P4 was finally ready, both started going towards the loco shed together for their next respective duties.

The VSKP WAG9 had come in earlier in the morning with a freight train to the Shalimar yard of SER. The SRC WAP4 was returning after serving the 22214 Patna Shalimar Duronto.

BTW it might appear in the video that I was standing too close to the line and the SRC loco had passed very close to me, but actually it was not. I was standing at a very safe spot, a pedestrian alley actually; also there was one of those platforms beside the tracks for linemen nearby to guard me, so overall it was absolutely safe. My camera made it appear as if I was very close to the loco, but there is nothing to worry. We must take maximum care about safety when doing railfanning. Having said that I am also taking this as a note to myself
