It may have been a bug I guess. I see all non stopping trains on the site as well.

Dont know where else to post it. Quick thinking by elderly couple prevented train derailment and saved many lives at Tenkasi, Tamil Nadu :coldsweat.

With two more VB's introduced, the number of VB's are four now crossing the Baiyapanahalli station out of which 3 crosses the station in a span of 30-45 minutes in the afternoon. The reason I mention Baiyapanahalli station is because two trains terminate at SMVT for now and two carry on towards Bangalore Cantonment and City stations. And while departing, the Kalburgi and Coimbatore trains cut off soon after Baiyapanahalli station.
This afternoon I ]managed to capture some action at SMVT and Baiyapanahalli.

This first picture probably dates back 20 years or so and is the same location at which the white VB is coming down the Salem ramp. Picture was taken by fellow member SandeepMohan when we used to trainspot back then.





The white VB is the pairing rake to Kalburgi since the turn around time is less for cleaning. The orange one just arrived.

I have been a old fan of Indian Railways. Back in college days, I used to travel by Poorva Express in sleeper class from Dhanbad to New Delhi. As I started working, I upgraded to Howrah Rajdhani Express. With life getting busier, I had to fly in order to save time.

But in year 2023, I got chance of doing multiple train trips including Archana Express, Bangalore Rajdhani, Bhopal Shatabadi, Rampur Agra Express and Vande Bharat Express. It was pleasant surprised to see the level of improvement in Railways. Nonetheless, had to lodge online complain twice with respect to faulty charging point and inadequate linen and was happy to see the issues addressed quickly once in Jhelum Express and Goa Express respectively between Agra to Pune.

I will be travelling again in Howrah Pune Duronto Express on 25th April. A train journey now affords me time to relax and unwind myself. Nostalgic memories have been revived by this thread.

Attaching a pic of Gaya Howrah Express, which I clicked yesterday.

Apart from being a Petrolhead, I am also a Railfan. Blast from the Past.
