Carrying the smart blue and white livery of Abu Road [ABR] shed, Indian Railways WDM-3A 18987 storms through Jatwara station in Rajasthan. The ThO 05:20 Bikaner Junction to Kolkata [BKN-KOAA] Superfast Express 12495 was about 400 kms into its overall journey of 1,885 kms and was scheduled to reach its destination at 13:15 on the following day.
The station has long platform loops to accommodate stopping services and in the absence of a footbridge a change of platforms upon leaving the booking office would involve either a lengthy walk to the end of the platform loops or entail passage across the ballast and all four BG tracks. At the time of my visit in 2016, Jatwara station only handled two stopping trains in each direction but the centre through lines saw a good amount of regular activity.
