Alas!! The most deserving train finally got a 3-phase salvation.Ever since the 12309/10 patna Rajdhani got augmented with 21 coaches,it was my dream to see a WAP7/WAP5 getting the charge of hauling this Rajdhani. Now after a patient wait of over an year,i finally got to hear the good news about the link upgradation of this Rajdhani from a WAP-4 to a WAP-7. Now as i was running out of patience,i made sure that at any cost during my Diwali break ,i will catch the Patna Rajdhani sprinting through any station with WAP7 in charge. Capturing the 12310 Patna Rajdhani had become infeasible due to approaching winters and shorter daylight hours,so decided to capture 12309 instead of 12310. Now the moment had finally arrived and my first encounter with 12309 RJPB-NDLS hauled by WAP-7 proved to be very much mesmerizing as well as enchanting. The moment we arrived at Dankaur station after braving the early morning chills,we first decided to take some rest and as i was trying to regain heat in y body,Jolly went inside the station cabin to inquire about the approaching trains and their locations.Thanks to cabin man we were able to witness Prayagraj exp.,Kaifiyat exp,Poorva exp. and Muri exp. blasting through the station at full notch,now at 6:25 am the mainline signal turned green one by one and the cabin man shouted that "Rajdhani ka samay aa gaya hai". So in a jiffy we took our positions and readied our camera's to capture the approaching storm.At 6:28 am i heard a huge whining from the south end of the station and i started to record this amazing experience.Within no time,in came the thunderous beast of GZB,whining like anything,the WAP-7 led 12309 Patna Rajdhani made it's best ever entry as it teared past the early morning mist/fog with full ferocity and rattled through the Dankaur station at full notch.Giving company to this fierce whining show was the majestic sparking show which really added "Chaar Chand" to this experience. Also enjoy the marvelous track sounds produced by the 21 LHB Coaches as they rumbled past one after another.Really my maiden catch of this Patna Rajdhani was really an exciting affair which i will remember for a good time to come. Also i will like to dedicate this video to Akash Bhaskar sir,whose fav. train is the ECR King:Patna Rajdhani. Enjoy the video sir..!! :)
