The three of us Shan H Feranades, Raj Kumar and Ujjawal Kashyap traveled from Habibganj to Akola on the inaugral run of 09307 INDB-YPR Pooja Special which departed Indore on 28th October 2012. This was the first passenger train run on the newly commissioned Narkher-New Amravati section of Central Railways. The ride was extremely smooth behind the WDM-3D, there was no jerks at all in this new LHB rake.
