I'd seen that a more severe jam on 16th May 05 when all train departing from DLI & NDLS after 8 pm were blocked at every signal till GZB

This happened at ALD too today..All rajdhani's and other trains were held up near ALD as wires broke up due to heavy storm and rains.Result all rajdhani's were running late by 2-6 hrs.

Thanks guys!! It was unusual on that day because normally the traffic Jam is never so extensive. This lasted for well over 15 hours. This happened because some wires had broken off on the DLI-GZB track and the trains from that station were also...

Nice One, I can see 1 EMU on other track. Behind WAP 4 i guess it's WDG 3A.

Ohh.. I see 5 trains on this track (if that WAP4 behind MEMU is not with RMS)

Remove WAP-4 and ROB to make it view of - between Saphale and Kelve Road on Western line.
