The Ziyarat express gets tangled up in the Rajdhani slots and pays the price. First up is the Bhubaneshwar Raj behind a GZB WAP4

Meanwhile, on the up line, Bhilai twins (WAG5) lead a goods rake

Next to overtake is the Kolkata Raj. WAP1 22017 from MGS does the honours

Life on the up line is much more sedate. Vijaywada twins trundle in with a mixed goods rake

The fourth Raj to scream past is the Guwahati Raj behind MGS WAP4 22285

Again, a more sedate pace on the other line. Modified WAG7 27455 from CNB crawls through

As the Ziyarat turns onto the lines to Agra Fort, an express train approaches Tundla

An Agra shunter near Yamuna bridge, Agra.

The Ziyarat express enters the Yamuna bridge. The ramparts of the Red Fort at Agra can be seen

At the crest. The Ajmer Shatabdi reaches the top of the gradient

The TKD WDM2 picks up speed with the Shatabdi in tow. The Ziyarat express has got used to it by now....waiting for the kings to zip through!

Entrance to Ajmer station

View from the overbridge of Ajmer station. The Ziyarat express is on platform 3
