Inauguration of the Kolkata-Guwahati Garib Rath Express
Inauguration of the Kolkata-Guwahati Garib Rath Express. The first GHY bound Garib Rath started from Kolkata terminal on the 30th March 2008. Rahul Biswas of Kolkata chapter was present to record a few images from the occasion.
As this train is getting readied for the maiden voyage, the PNBE GR stays unattended, at the deserted coaching lines. Rahul
The GHY bound GR just brought to the platform for it's maiden run. Rahul
The rake consisted of only ten usual GR a/c three tier coaches having SMB, similar to this. Rahul
This must be written in Assamese language. I have seen similar alphabets in Kanchanjangha Exp too. Rahul
Inside one of the generator compartment. Each generator car has two identical generators, one was running and the other was probably used for back up. Rahul
These are the control switches of the generators. This is one end of the compartment, guard uses the other. Unlike Rajdhani (LHB) WLRRMs, they were not connected together. Rahul
Decorated WDM-2A #17998 of NGC doing the honour. Rahul
