IR ZDM4A 219 52471 BJPL 150318_2
ZDM4A 219 at Baijnath Paprola with train 52471, the 02:15 Pathankot Jn - Joginder Nagar "Kangra Valley" Passenger. Thursday 15th March 2018. An accident relief train rake sits on the left.
219 was a bit of a heap - either I experienced two separately rubbish drivers or it was low power and wouldn't fully rev up. A pity as it seemed quite a loud one (relatively speaking) but it did appear to stagger on the steeper 1 in 25 sections up to Joginder at about 15 km/h - we needed the extra 2 minutes gained by leaving Baijnath early!
