one thing i wanted to share is that i booked my ticket at 20 rlwl, but to my surprise hardly 20 passangers were there on my coach, it train was almost empty, and hardly anybody deboarded the train{something jholjhaal}.
anyways,my train departed at 00:20 am.
i wanted to check the mps of this train as i never travelled in orange livery rajdhani, to my disappointment it touched only 115 on my gps speedometer{Ak raj was 142 and bbs raj was 135 on my gps}. anyways it stopped at some small station,pics below. it got a loopline at itarsi jn. as a gone to sleep at 1:50 am.
