Konark- Clicked!

As me and Vamsee were experimenting something very new atop- playing background musics to trains playing through Raigir, the next scheduled train to hit the tracks was Konark Express, bound for Bhubaneshwar. One speciality of this train was this was one daily which gets diesel link at Raigir. Customary link is a Kazipet WDM3A or WDG3A.

As usual, it was scheduled to trail Rajdhani and the northbound Rajdhani went with WAP 7 from Lallaguda. Konark was expected anytime and in the mean time, I click few pictures of insects, which came off okay-ish.

In the meantime- we heard some honk and we got ready in our positions. Konark Express it was- because that is the only ALCo we were supposed to get. As planned- Vamsee got ready with his background track- "Mumbai ke Hero" from "Zanjeer". It was CR train, so, Mumbai ke hero. That was one reason why we went for it.

I started video recording- and the loco was WDG3A "Shakti" Number was in 13*** series- it actually didn't matter though. I perfectly shot ton of steel pass by and as soon as the train entered the curve- I decided to stop the video and get a perfect click.

Train entered curve.

I stopped recording.
