12219 LTT SC Duronto gets looped at Nagansur for crossing with Karnataka Express. Our (Me & RF Amol Nikam) 12219 were embarked on an RF trip involving 3 trains & 12219 was the first of the lot. Right from the start 12219 got excellent priority as overtook Siddheshwar express at KYN and LTT CBE at Thane itself. But for some reason we were delayed by almost an hour by the time we reached Pune. After that we were just maintaining delay. Little bit of slack kicked in. We were 45 min late at Solapur, after which we were looped at Nagansur station for NDLS bound Karnataka express.
Karnataka Express was hauled by MLY WDM3A Twins 16683R+16695R in SHF- LHF mode. Looks like...
more... Karnataka was very close to the station so seems to have slowed down, hence crossed us at sedate speed. Infact it was picking up some speed as it crossed us. Towards the end you can see there is a lovely gradient which I wanted to capture as Karnataka express was about negotiate it. But the Pantry guy had some other ideas and decided to crash my video towards the end..damn! anyways enjoy the video though.
Amol Nikam can be seen Shooting the same video :)
