train coming towards me on platform 1. I thought 🤔 it may some unfinished train bogie while viewed at distance but I found coaches of Amrit Bharat hauled by WAG5 Locomotive 😜😜(see the last pic) they are probably additional coaches alloted to ECR and WR with a small load of 6 coaches (2SLR, 3Sleeper and 1UR coach).
