Oscillograph recording equipment sits on the driver's seat in rear cab, spewing off paper like confetti!
I was hungry on reaching Agra and rubbed my eyes at this! Food was being served inside the empty coaches! Alas, it was a mirage!
The accelerometers are housed in this puny unit placed on the floor in the bowels of the WAP5
First part of a longish clip I shot leaning out from the open window of the front cab. The wind was tearing the camera from my hands!
Passing through Asawati Station at 150 kmph
Roaring down the DN line. Quality of the video has gone down with compression but better than a 20 mb clip for 20 secs:p
Whoa! Was that a level crossing?
Trains coming towards us were passing in a flash, well almost.
Zipping through Asawati.
We went over 150 and the alarm was beeping like mad!
