KYN WDG-3A Push-Pull Passenger runs parallel with WCAM-3 Mumbai Duronto!! An incident never to be seen again!!
.
Video taken a year ago. Pushed by 13518 KYN WDG- 3A, the Diva (DIVA)- Vasai Road (BSR) Push- Pull Passenger makes a parallel run with a KYN WCAM- 3 hauled 12261 Mumbai C.S.T. (CSTM)- Howrah (HWH) A.C. DURONTO Express.
Earlier, the Passenger used to run...
more... with the diesel locomotive sandwitched between the 8 coaches (4 in each side). But later, the diesel locomotive used to pull the train in one direction, and push in the other (As seen in this video). But w.e.f. December 14, 2014, the train was replaced by a DEMU. The rake of the Passenger had become too old (23 years old), and had to be replaced.
Post AC-fication of the CR line, the DURONTO now runs with a WAP- 4 throughout the journey. Earlier, the DURONTO used to run with a WCAM- 3 from C.S.T. to Igatpuri, and then change locomotive.
So enjoy this unique incident, which will never ever happen again.
