When was this loco captured? Yesterday, I saw 12898 BBS-PDY SF Express with AJJ WAP1 😃. Couldn't notice the road number as it overtook my EMU pretty quickly.

18520 over taken after RJY today. Express train over taken SF ? Kudos to SCR controlling.
Over taken by VSKP DD at Medapadu today. Let see SCR allow ratnachal to over take it or not.

I agree on slot but how come a express will OT a super fast. Now 57271 have to reach by 8:05. Now running with 4 hrs late, will it be allowed to OT express ??

I don't think 57271 even though allowed to OT any express/SF will overcome its delay, so it will loose priority. It has delayed start from BZA itself due to some issue.
