Nearly 9 hours late running route diverted Padatik Express with SGUJ WDP4 20064 cruises towards SDAH

Due to the NI work at New Jalpaiguri Junction, there were few such trains which were diverted through the Dooars line between New Coochbehar Junction/New Alipurduar & Aluabari Road Junction. The trains were heavily running late due to this diversion, those three days were hectic for the passengers but there's a saying - today's pain, tomorrow's gain ! So whatever happens, it happens for good. NI work is over at NJP, now everything is back to normal. Coming to the point, seen here is the 8 hours 49 minutes late running 12378 New Alipurduar - Sealdah Padatik SF Express hauled by Diesel Locomotive Shed, Siliguri Junction based WDP4 Locomotive 20064 which was in SHF mode. Location was near Bidhannagar Road station, though it is better to say Dakshindari or somewhere close to Patipukur between Dumdum & Bidhannagar Road stations. #dieselengine #easternrailways #siliguri #wdp4 #padatikexpress #newjalpaiguri #newalipurduar #emdlocomotive #routediverted #northeastfrontierrailway #maldatown #electromotivediesel #railfans
