No distinction between the two classes, atleast for this one day. All non-railfans turned railfans on the run, chucking sleep and gathering near the doorways to catch the scenic section. Armed with anything ranging from puny VGA cameraphones to the massive Nikon 4D, they were everywhere throughout the length of the train. Posted by Bizzy Mishra on 2007 Dec 13 11:02:20 +0000 |

This is the same station where earlier during the day,the MAS Shatabdi was stopped and glass panes of the WDP4 loco were broken and L.P thrashed along with S.M.The shatabdi was made to wait 1 hour due to the mob. <the reason being tipu express was made to wait for an hour for several crossings which sparked the crowd> Posted by Colin Peter on 2007 Dec 13 10:47:44 +0000 |
What a difference a rake makes to this picture. You can see the same station a few months back - desolate and lifeless in many a trekker's album. Now the gangmen are seen and this place will be bustling with passengers who get out on a break. A great feeling to see this line back with passenger action!
