Himsagar - Journey of a Lifetime

The Coal loading Stations after Majri Jn.

Flags: Today We Celebrate Our Independence Day (At Lingti)

The Nagpur bound Nandigram Exp. meets its counterpart at Lingti on the Majri - Pimpalkutti section.

The Nandigram bound for NGP with a Pune WDG-3A 13051 takes the loop at Lingti

P-Way Inspector ;-) inspecting the newly laid tracks while the Nandigram bound to NGP creeps up from behind

A Pune WDG3A #13051 with the Nagpur bound 1401 Nandigram exchanges token at Lingti station.

The Station Kalasi, a young lad with the token across his body and COs in his hand on his way to give to the LP of the Freight which crossed us in Pimpalkuti

The Tapovan crosses the Nandigram at Limbgaon as the sun sets on a wonderful I-Day (shot by Shanx)

The sun sets over the landscape as our train speeds towards Manmad.

Dawn at Daund

Having reached way before time, people make good use of the long halt for a lazy cup of chai and a morning walk

Pretty clear which way this fella is headed

Crossing at dusk at Murthipaliyam on the Erode - Karur line

Dusk at Karur

In the end, it was left to this rare beast to finish off our journey in style. Erode's fancy WDM3D #11121 brings us to Kanyakumari with the superfast from Egmore.

We stop here !!

Mission accomplished. Bharath drops the piece of ballast we'd brought with us, all the way from Udhampur.
