The entry/exit to the Naini bridge have these old structures which support gates

Road traffic on the Naini bridge too is restricted. The trains too have speed restrictions. A new cable stayed bridge has been built by the NHAI some distance from the old bridge

A TKD WDM2 speeds through Sabarmati with a container rake. This was minutes before the Ashram was due. This train stayed ahead of us all the way till Abu Road. Abhijit

Thats fast! The Rajdhani speeds through the Uttar Pradesh countryside. Abhijit

The excitement of a single line. The Ashram waits for the Pooja express 27 km from Rewari. The passengers and the RPF seemed a little bit too interested and I beat a hasty retreat into my coach.

Another station, another crossing. Ashram waits for a passenger train which arrives behind a LDH WDM3a.

Inside the LHB Rajdhani.

Approaching the Ganges. An express train takes the curve onto the bridge near Allahabad

LKO's Prabal leads the express onto the bridge

And crosses to the other side. The semaphore arm is down as the train approaches Phaphamau station

Another express train approaches the bridge from Phaphamau side.

And the complete rake on the bridge.

The sun sets over the Ganges. Photograph taken from the old Curzon bridge

View from the new road bridge. The iron structure is the Curzon bridge beyond which is the new rail bridge.

A view of all three bridges. The central bridge is the Curzon bridge. This had both rail and road traffic, but now carries only two-wheelers. The rail bridge is on the right and road bridge on the left.
