A stranger on South Eastern Railways and East Coast Railways greets us: a Howrah WAP4 with the 16324 Shalimar Thiruvananthapuram Express blazes past us with her 23 coach load at a blistering pace. The video is recorded aboard the 12704 Secunderabad Howrah Falaknuma Express, between Balugaon and Brahmapur in coastal Orissa, a little to the north of the magnificent Chilka Lake. The Falaknuma was also racing through coastal Orissa towards Balugaon, resulting in an extremely high speed crossing!
