First of All, A Very Happy Diwali to all the IRI Members and on this propitious occasion, I present this upload.
The train which mesmerizes each and every railfan when in full aggression and in this meet too, it did not fail either.
Headed by a very Aggressive and Clean HWH WAP-7, the ER Majesty aka Howrah Rajdhani Express gives its Darshan to us in a beautiful Twilight Atmosphere, curves at west end of the station and just Rattles past us with some incredible honking ...!!

Find even a small curve fit for MPS in the Dead Straight NDLS - CNB section is a Tough Task. But to our luck, we could Discover this location. While hunting for a good spot on this station, we saw this small curve at the west end.
While examining the camera of my fellow and senior railfan Ankit Bharaj, a Scintillating Twin Honking striked our ears. We knew it was time for the speedshow by ER Majesty. So, Here it is:-
Another aggressive, blistering action of the day and that too by the One and Only India's First Rajdhani aka ER King. Aggressively whining , HWH WAP-7# 30328 hauled 12302 New Delhi - Howrah Rajdhani Express negotiates the small curve at station outer, approaches with its Midlights on and Rattles past over the points and the station at MPS.
The Twilight Atmosphere, small curve, Amazing Track sounds and last but not the least the Aggressive whining show by WAP-7 made this catch a memorable one.
Everyone out there, Do Enjoy the ER Majesty's Aggression at the fullest. !! :) :)
