DIVERTED RAJDHANI EXPRESS TRAIN
--------------------------------------------------------------
Rajdhani Express (Train #12432) from Hazrat Nizamuddin station (in Delhi) to Trivandrum Central (in Kerala) hauled by a Bhagat ki Kothi based WDP-4B diesel locomotive #40073 roars past Palam Station on Oct. 11, 2015 at 11:53 AM. The WDP-4B is a 4500 hp locomotive used on express trains on Indian Railways.
This air-conditioned train with Linke Hofmann Busch (Alstom LHB) coaches built by Rail Coach Factory at Kapurthala, India, was on a diverted route toward its next scheduled halt at Kota, via Rewari and Alwar, instead of the usual route via Faridabad and Mathura to Kota. This change was because of non-interlocking work at Asaoti, for laying a new parallel track.
This train, which departed on schedule from Nizamuddin reached Kota late by nearly 9 hours along the diverted route! Normally, this train takes just 4.5 hrs to Kota, its first scheduled halt after leaving Delhi's Nizamuddin station.
