IR WDM3A 16135 04776 HMH 190318_2
Ludhiana WDM3A 16135 at Hanumangarh Junction with the inaugural run of train 04776, the 13:50 Passenger Special to Sadulpur Junction.
Judging by the matt black radiator area it looks to be a smoky bastard. With hindsight or a crystal ball I should have done it, given the inconvenience (deeply regretted!) caused by the previous day's timetable changes (that I was ignorant of), resulting in me missing a bit of track to Shri Ganganagar and the EMD bowl out I later suffered on top of an already rancid overnight spent awake in the small hours.
The old boys waving it off on the platform wanted to garland me and seemed very excited at getting a new service, increasing the trains on the line by 50% to three each way a day. Eventually they might actually get the sort of service there was in MG days (and need, if the heavy loadings are anything to go by) or even an Express! Monday 19th March 2018.
