12289 Nagpur Duronto Express
I boarded my Kalyan-CST Slow Local which departs/ed from Kalyan at 6 pm. While my local was nearing CST, the rake of Howrah Duronto (stationary) as well as Nagpur Duronto (in motion) was seen. I arrived CST and checked 12289's departure platform and it was no.18.
I went there and kept waiting ... until it was 8:15, yet the rake was to be shunted over the platform. Finally at 8:17, the rake got shunted by the WCAM-3 itself in reverse direction (no WDS). Train departed from CST at 8:36

pm.
In the surburbs of Mumbai it reached the top speed of 101 Kmph acc to my speedometer.
It overtook Mahalaxmi Express at Dadar.
Soon, She has parallel run with yet another Duronto of Mumbai bound for Ernakulam at Vidyavihar.
Then Jnaneswari Express did unscheduled halt at Thane (plat 7) to get overtaken by my duronto.
Then, at Kalyan again it experienced parallel run with Dadar-Chennai Egmore SF.
Overtake of Amravati Express was yet to happen.
Duronto soon took a 7 mins halt at Kasara and arrived Igatpuri where it switched over to WAP-7 30303 from WCAM/3 21883 in 15 mins.
I reached a maximum speed of 60 kmph in the kasara-igatpuri ghat section.
After Igatpuri, before Nasik it did a maximum of 122 Kmph.
Then I had my long sleep and got up at Wardha, after which It did maximum of 110 Kmph only.
It arrived Nagpur almost 5 mins late.

if the train is capable of 120 then why the avg speed is less than those train which are capable of 110 only ...only for winter delay its given a wap 7 then same should go for pushpak n udyognagri also the train can easily maintain its time as not much stoppages

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
