IR WDP3A 15513 12486 WDP1 15047 stabled BTI 160318

WDP3A 15513, of Tughlakabad shed, at Bathinda Junction on Friday 16th March 2018 with train 12486, the 14:45 Shri Ganganagar Jn - Hazur Sahib Nanded SuperFast Express (Tuesdays, Fridays & Saturdays only). Shedmate WDP1 15047 is stabled in the bay platforms.

 

The guy with the two excited young girls seemed to know the loco pilot; a popular man as just after leaving the staion we slowed down for the crew to collect some dinner from a waving family group stood on adjacent tracks - which necessitated a healthy application of power to recover from!

 

I was hoping for/expecting a lot from this DP3 and it didn't fail to deliver - great chugging and thrash. The pilot was excellent too, actually driving the SuperFast like the supposedly crack express train it was.
