Useful _/\_ Agree
उत्तर रेलवे में सबसे ज्यादा बेकार काम अगर कहीं हो रहा है तो वो है जंघई जंक्शन से निकलने वाली तीनों लाइन (जंघई - फाफामऊ, जंघई - प्रतापगढ़, जंघई जाफराबाद) पिछले 5 से 6 साल से इस रूट पर डबल लाइन बनाई जा रही है, जो कि अब तक पूरा ना हो सका। जो लोग भी उसके आस-पास रहते हैं कृपया वहां के कार्य के बारे में जानकारी जरूर दें। 5 से 6 साल में न जाने कितने रूट का दोहरीकरण के साथ विद्युतीकरण भी हो गया, लेकिन जंघई से निकलने वाली ये तीनों लाइनों का पिछले 5 6 साल से काम हो रहा है जो कि अब तक पूरा नहीं हो सका। रेलवे को इस पर ध्यान देने की जरूरत है।
~~धन्यवाद🙏🙂

Chasing the sun. Sunrise and sunsets.

1. The essence of Varanasi. A few pilgrims rest beside the station board, while a Lucknow ALCo waits patiently for it's next shunting duty at Varanasi Junction.

2.

A DLTB WAP-7 furiously skipping Etawah Junction with SDAH Duronto, while a cloudy day begins.

3. A late running Shivganga Express rushes through a thick blanket of fog, somewhere ahead of Fatehpur.

4. North East Express moving towards it's next halt Mughalsarai, while a BOBRN freight crosses over DFC in the orange hue of sunset.

5. AJNI WAG-9HC xings with my NDLS-BSBS Superfast hauling some ER based train. Interestingly, all the 3AC coaches were of Humsafar livery.

6. Into the ALCo heaven. Patna-Kota Express led by twin LKO ALCos, meets another LKO ALCo lying idle. Waiting in distance is yet another LKO ALCo led train, while a beautiful day comes to an end.

7. A MEMU coming out of it's foggy silhouette at Bidanpur/NCR.

8. Yet another ALCo waits in the golden hour, while Marudhar Express passes the dilapidated ECR marked Garib Rath coaches standing around Varanasi Junction since ages.

Kumud.
