On a short trip to Delhi,one thing which i kept in my mind was to make a trip to the NDLS-CNB Route just to get the evening extravaganza of the Rajdhani rumbling past through a station at full speed.As Ajaibpur,Dankaur,Wair had been conquered previously,i decided to move a level beyond and planned for a evening outing at some stations ahead of Chola. Now on a scorching day me and Jolly planned for a RF trip to Sikandarpur.Now our way to Sikandarpur was filled with a lot of obstacles,not only we had to face the wrath of the sun which was blaring all it's gun on us but also we had to face the broken roads which was a torture to both our backs and hips. Finally after facing the tough obstacles we reached Sikandarpur.At 5:10pm Jolly parked his scooty and we raced towards the station to check the signal status,on reaching we saw that the starter and the home signaal were all green,indicating that a hurricane was on it's way. Now at 5:20pm ,the hurricane towards Kanpur,namely the 12034 Kanpur Shatabdi blazed past us in full throttle. Now as we were relishing the terrific show put up by the menacing evening shatabdi,the starter on the Down Line to Kanpur again turned green one by one.Now this marked the license to blast for the approaching thunder in the name of Ranchi Garib Rath. The clearance given to Ranchi Garib Rath was humengous and after a 10 minute long wait we saw a huge beam of yellow approaching from the north end of the station.As the Garib Rath reduced the deficit from the station the beam of yellow light grew larger and it was the monster WAP-4 which marked it's arrival by it's monstrous honk which commenced from a long range. Curving and blazing it's way from the north end was the GZB WAP-4#22720 led 12878 Ranchi GaribRath which announced it's arrival with some thunderous honking which really set my pulse racing and then in a jiffy negotiated the zig-zag curves of the Sikandarpur station and finally dashed past me at it's full MPS.The Terrific Honking show put up by the LP's of the menacing WAP-4 was surely an icing on the cake along with the majestic MPS blast which literally rock bottomed the station. Notice how the green and yellow coaches of the Ranchi GR sparkle as the hovering sun shower it's rays upon the raging storm on the ground.You can also see how the LP's of the looped WAG-7 led freight enjoy the brutal overtake at the hands of Ranchi Garib Rath while taking cover from the thunder in their cabin.This freight was looped for approx 2 hours for allowing 8 thrashing overtakes.
