IR WDP3A 15509 12482 MOT 190318_3
Tughlakabad WDP3A 15509 starts off from Malout with train 12482, the 05:55 Shri Ganganagar Jn - Delhi Jn InterCity Express. Monday 19th March 2018. Part of the hopeless coaching link that includes the Ganganagar - Haridwar and Delhi - Fazilka ICs. Insufficient time at both ends to service the stock or soak up any delay results in a seemingly endless cycle of lateness. Although, it worked to my advantage this morning and I was able to get down the line to intercept two DP3s.
It was running 100 minutes late but faring better than 14712, the Haridwar InterCity, although booked ahead of 12482 by an hour and a half was behind and four hours down! I waited for the latter hoping for an unsmapled WDP3A - it produced 15511 which I'd only previously had one 18 km run off back in 2009.
Taken with the 60mm phone attachment lens and displaying the loss of quality at the edges, although reasonably sharp in the centre I'm not convinced it was a wise investment!
