Yesterday I was out for more than 13 hours doing RF. This was probably the longest RF session in a day by me without any long trips. Did RF in both SER and ER yesterday.
First picture of the day. Sun shining on Midmount HWH WAP 4 22403 which led 12352 RJPB HWH Express to Howrah.
Picture 2 :- No Shed's WAP 7 37108 with Shiromani Fast Passenger at Deulti. Jokes apart, the loco belongs to SRC. Both 37106 and 37108 are commissioned and doing long duties but don't have any stencilling...

on them.
Picture 3 :- Large Station Board of Bhogpur.
Picture 4 :- WAP 4 22254 of SRC skipping Kolaghat with Bhadrak Fast Passenger.
Picture 5 :- The last loco of the WAP 4 dynasty *SRC WAP 4 25051* with HWH YPR Duronto whizzed past Ghoraghata at MPS.
Picture 6 :- Racing time. Race between KGP HWH EMU and JGM SRC MEMU. Location Bagnan.
Picture 7 :- The precious Humsafar Rakes (Rake 1 and 2 - 2018 made) of SER, which I always talked about, were finally captured by me in a single frame. Location Bauria. Rake 2 is currently being used as SRC NJP Special. Rake 1 came from ANVT as one way special. Both these rakes ran for a long time in various routes.
Picture 8 :- At Santragachi. SRC P7 overtaking KGP WDM 3A. The pictures gives us a message too. With 100% Electrification on the Cards it is true that the ELocos will rule the tracks and will take over most of the things from the DLocos.
Picture 9 :- Jumbled up link of Gitanjali. Supposed to get WAP 7 30336 of TKD. Got WAP 4 22991 of ET. Location Howrah.
Picture 10 :- The ECoR Janshatabdi departing from HWH with VSKP WAP 7 30501.
Picture 11 :- Triple Action. Parallel departure of HWH PNBE Janshatabdi and HWH TAK Local of 14:10 from HWH while MGS WAP 4 22064 led Doon Express is waiting to enter Howrah.
Picture 12 :- Unsuccessful Shot. 😐. Saraighat with SGUJ WDP 4D 40141 skipping Bally.
Picture 13 :- New Guwahati's New WDP 4D 40602 curving in at Bally with AGTL BNC Humsafar.
Picture 14 :- Poorva with HWH WAP 7 30371 at Bally.
Picture 15 :- First time capturing loco with white blinkers after dark. Newbie HWH WAP 7 37080 at Howrah.
Last Picture :- Howrah New Complex got a New Station Board. 😍😉

जिस धरती से वंदे मातरम का जयघोष हुआ, वहा से आज वंदे भारत को हरी झंडी दिखाई गई

This became the most-talked train of Bengal with lots of anticipation & fanbase as well as thousands of unwanted cheap opinions, some people cursing it before its inauguration, spreading rumours about the route of the train, predicting it would be a flop & so on .. Still the craze for the train was from the beginning...the train was captured right from its Day 1 during its transit, lots of enthusiasts flocking the car...
more...
depot for a first glimpse from early morning...the trial runs was witnessed by several people including myself, the fanbase of the train kept increasing until the grand day came....

Onboard Inaugural run:

This was one of the most exciting journey for me, became quite a sad inaugural, as Prime Minister was seen in the giant screen flagging off the train with sad eyes after his personal loss. What courage & dedication he has towards his duties!

I couldn't sleep properly the entire night, leaving bed at 3AM & took first local from my home station to Howrah & WOW! I found Vande Bharat rake entering parallely to us & being berthed at 05:30 AM! Upon arriving at Howrah, waited for my mates to arrive. We received boarding pass & entered PF22 after all formalities at around 09:30 AM. Took few pictures outside while it was announced towards all passengers to board train about 30 mins before departure as doors would be closed. For Railway Fan clubs & enthusiasts, 2 coaches (about 150 seats) were alloted but I could find not even 50 heads! Lots of seats were empty in our coach.

The train took off late by 10 mins due to some off-stage pseudo-political drama. I really hoped to see Prime Minister today but luck didn't favour. The points must have been set much ahead of our departure & as it would be embarassing if by any chance points would fail infront of ministers. During our departure, absolutely no trains were seen entering or departing from massive Howrah, the outers were literally empty, NTES shows several trains delayed or controlled for Vande Bharat. We were provided with welcome kit soon (the menu provided in images). The tracks, stations, bridges were full of people witnessing this historical event...what a wonderful scene it was... I could resist recording a few clips.

Reached Dankuni & food was loaded. Cultural programmes being performed, while we entered & departed. The train was getting delayed at wayside stations as RPF/GRP couldn't properly control the crowd who came up on tracks. Halted for few mins at Kamarkundu. We were offered snacks/breakfast before Masagram & tea after Masagram stoppage. The breakfast was quite tasty but they could have used the heating case for fried items. Tea had various options.

Train stopped as per schedule at Saktigarh (where 13151 o/t us), Burdwan & Khana. Some people who got up to get a glimpse of the train at BWN & got stuck inside the train were deboarded at Khana. After a cat & mouse chase & parallel run with 13151 b/w BWN-KAN, we had lunch served. Lunch was fine except for the cold-chewy parathas, lot of food was extra & staff were offering them to us. Water bottles was being provided at 1hr interval. Catering staff was extremely professional & was packing food for deboarding pax as well.

After passing BWN, I could find most of our known mates kept their phones aside & was gossiping, enjoying the joyride. Soon we were entering Bolpur. I packed up & deboarded at Sainthia. Many co-passengers continued till Rampurhat, some till Malda & NJP. Our tickets allowed round trip travel HWH-NJP & back and some mates used it so.
This was one of the most memorable trips I had, was busy enjoying the trip & craze ..so few pictures.

- The best memories are made in December, but we also loose some of our favourite peoples - 🙂
