As we wait at Alandi for our return link to arrive, the 2630 Nizamuddin - Bangalore Karanataka Sampark Kranti Express arrives with KJM's WDG 3A # 13053 in charge. The next time we visit this station, the section would be converted to the tokenless panel interlock. The incoming hoop containing the Niele's ball token is seen flying through the air while the station khalasi is ready to deliver the outgoing token to the thundering locomotive. The khalasi holds onto the rail with his crossed legs. During the night hours, his other hand holds the flaming torch to illuminate the exchange, so he has only his legs to secure himself against the pull of the train.
