After a long wait, I did my first night railfanning in Mathura-Agra Section of Agra Division, North Central Railways, at Farah Station near Mathura. It is India's only Semi Highspeed Section with 12050/49 Gatimaan Express running at 160kmph. The best night to visit this section are Sunday and Monday night as one gets to capture the weekly Duronto Express from Bangalore along with Rajdhani Express and other Superfast Trains running towards South India.
While the Up line action towards Agra/Jhansi was almost running on time, Down line was running late as there some technical problem before Jhansi in the route leading to delay of all the North bound Southern Trains. The 22691 SBC-NZM Rajdhani Express despite of being delayed by over 2 hours overtook all the trains before Agra which it generally overtakes around Agra and Mathura.
The key catches of the video are:
1. LGD WAP-7 with 12286 Hazrat Nizamuddin-Secunderabad Duronto Express.
2. LGD WAP-7 with 12612 Nizamuddin-Chennai Garib Rath Express.
3. GZB WAP-7 with 11077 Jhelum Express.
4. GZB WAP-7 with 22415/Andhra Pradesh AC SF Express.
5. GZB WAP-5#30086 with 12049 Gatimaan Express.
6. BRC WAP-5 Amul with 16031 Andaman Express.
7. JHS WDM-3A with 12404 Jaipur -Allahabad SF Express and dead CNB WAP-4 in the end.
8. GZB WAP-5 with 12001 Bhopal-New Delhi Shatabdi Express.
9. GZB WAP-7 with 22692 Nizamuddin -Bengaluru Rajdhani Express.
10. LGD WAP-7 with 12214 Sarai Rohilla-Yesvantpur Duronto Express
11. LGD WAP-7 with 2 hours late running 22691 Bengaluru-Nizamuddin Rajdhani Express.
Enjoy and Peace!
