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. 😍😉
