My first nightout on the busiest section of Indian Railways i.e. Allahabad-Mughalsarai Section of Allahabad Division, North Central Railways on the New Delhi-Howrah Route. The section witnesses a lot of action from all parts of India and connects Allahabad with East India. The action starts during midnight and continues till 3am.
Earlier it was part of the East India Company Railways before the independence later taken over by the Indian Railways. The section has a lot of freight action as well passenger trains and my favorite Rajdhani Gang of NDLS-MGS Section! Rajdhani's are given top most priority in this whole route and all trains are looped for giving way to this gang!
Since back to back Rajdhani's depart from New Delhi in the evening, one can witness their back to back action anywhere in the entire section. All passenger and freight trains are looped for hours for passing this gang at top priority so that they aren't delayed due to late clearances, thus allowing them to maintain their top speed i.e. 130kmph!
The video also contains Diesel Action from Itarsi-Allahabad Section which were passing during the time of Down Rajdhani Gang!
The Rajdhani's in the above video are as follows-
1.12454/New Delhi - Ranchi Rajdhani Express (Via Daltonganj)
2. 12424/New Delhi - Dibrugarh Town Rajdhani Express
3.12314/New Delhi - Sealdah Rajdhani Express
4. 12302/New Delhi - Howrah Rajdhani Express (Via Gaya)
5. 22824/New Delhi - Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express(Via Bokaro)
6. 12310/New Delhi - Rajendra Nagar (Patna) Rajdhani Express
Stay tuned for upcoming videos from this section.
Enjoy and Peace!
