won't be long before we will be able to buy ticket and have the same experience.

Do you have a lens protector for your camcorder? I use it all the time to protect my lens from flying objects. It definitely came in handy during my Bhopal Shatabdi footplate way back in August 1995 - for a short time, the train actually went at 150 kmph. (10 kmph above max. permissible speed at that time)

Just Amazing. Rajeev, I am just waiting for more videos esp. from the cab. If you look closely, you can see the reflection of coffee cup!! There does not seem to be any vibrations at all in the coach

The coaches I saw in the trial were a mix of LWSCZACs (04-05 vintage) and LACCZs of 00-02 vintage.

Good show Rajeev! Congratulations!!

Looks like GZB shed has replaced the original rotary flashers on these WAP-5s with the LED flashers seen on most locos on IR!

Hey - whats that on the LHS bottom of the frame? A broken window pane?

Vabby, will they be brand new coaches or second hand of LKO or ASR Shatabdi?

That's in the other direction (UP line)

I was very concious of that but had to get those bars on the windshield out of my way!

Nice video. But one point to consider - be careful of pointing the camera in the direction of motion at such speeds as any small stone or even smaller particle can smash the camera lens.
