73. INDIAN RAILWAYS | ISO Certified Kota Janshatabdi Express rushes past @ MPS with TKD WAP7 in lead

----------------------------------------------------------------- Date and Time: Aug 25, 2013 Location: Asaoti, NDLS-MTJ mainlines India's fastest Janshatabdi express, 12060 Nizamuddin-Kota Janshatabdi thrashes Asaoti at 110kmph flat, led by Tughlakabad (TKD) WAP7 30355. It was slightly late. This video was taken during the time period when most trains from south came more than 4 hours late on a daily basis, when tracks had been washed out near Nagpur. The monsoon of 2013 was far more devastating in Central India than any other year over the past decade, according to sources and it took its toll on Railway operations. As soon as I got info of the track washout incident I immediately went to capture most of the trains, but instead managed to get only two of my favorites TN and AP. It was my first capture of this train as well; it was like a white rocket, with the loco color almost synchronizing with rake color. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Nizamuddin-Kota-Nizamuddin Janshatabdi is a daily service connecting Kota Jn. to Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin.
