07344 Kulem Vasco passenger with 7 coach ICF rake awaiting crossing of 12741 VSG PNBE SF express at Sankval railway station.

Some facts about the crossing on Wednesday 14th August 2024:
1. Sankval to Vasco Da Gama is single line section with no scope for crossing in between. Departure of 12741 from Vasco is 19.05 and arrival of 07344 at Vasco is...

19.40.
2. Since VSG PF #2 and #3 are occupied by 17322 and 18047 respectively and PF #1 by outgoing 12741 our 07344 has to stranded at Sankval.
3. Sankval has only one platform and one mainline and other 3 tracks are Zuari Industries freight sidings.
4. Our train 07344 arrived Sankval at 18.55 and departed at 19.25 after 12741 had crossed us.
5. 07344 can easily arrive VSG at 19.15 after completing Sankval to Vasco track doubling.
6. A strange thing happened that day out train having scheduled halt at Sankval was halted on the mainline without PF whereas 12741 with no scheduled halt crossed us on the main platform line.
7. Both rakes of Vasco Kulem Vasco passenger trains are with 7 coach ICF rakes no DEMU rakes anymore. Loco link of my train was Pune WDG4D.
This needs to be updated on IRI, CC is 6 GS and 1 SLR in middle.

Two heavyweight trains of Goa running full throughout the year i.e. 17322 Jasidih Vasco Da Gama weekly express and 18047 Shalimar Vasco Da Gama Amaravati express standing next to each other on VSG PF #2 and #3 respectively

Both trains had completed long 2000+ kms of journeys from East India to the coastal town at West.

Travelled end to end in the "Night Rider" of Goa Londa section yesterday i.e. on 14th August 2024 from VSG to YPR with my father as he had some work at Bengaluru.
It was running with extra SL coach yesterday and loco link was Namma KJM WDP4D #40438.

The best overnight rail journey I had in a long time now. My...

coach was S5 middle berth. The rake was parked at SVM railway station and only moved to VSG at around 21.00 around 2 hours before journey placed on PF1. And the extra coach attachment was completed at 22.50 just 5 minutes before scheduled departure. 🤦 Lot of confusion among passengers of AC coaches and GS as those were detached and taken to pitline where the extra coach was placed. As a result train departed late by 25 minutes. Finally arrived YPR 20 minutes late at 12.50 as it took unscheduled halt at BAW and stranded at YPR outers for a good 20 minutes otherwise ontime arrival was very much possible.

Overall journey was pretty great after a long time enjoyed an overnight rail journey. No overcrowding in SL coaches, the coach was pretty clean including the toilets and basins kudos to the passengers too. Really LHB conversion of the train has clear benefits comfort wise atleast. Even at 110kph the MPS in UBL YPR section the ride was pretty smooth compared to my previous ICF travels at same speeds. Inspite of my berth being near to toilets no smell to foil the trip.
Tea, water and refreshments by IRCTC were always available since morning all the way till journey end.

I would give the train following ratings:
Cleanliness and maintenance 9.5/10.
Speed and punctuality 7/10.
Food and catering 9.5/10.
Comfort in SL class 10/10.
RFing 10/10 (though you won't enjoy Dudhsagar and Braganza Ghats but the route from UBL to YPR is pretty good too and FEDL also 664kms of end to end diesel journey is treat for diesel loco lovers. 😀

This is really one the best of trains of SWR. Kudos to SWR and the passengers for maintaining the train clean and good. Pretty friendly co-passengers and Railway officials too. My co-passenger was a guy from Chennai living in Goa he had to use this train to travel to YPR and later on take a bus to Chennai as direct VSG MAS express is not running now to VSG.

My coach S5 is 2020 ICF manufactured one.
