This is a compilation of 6 videos of the 19023 Mumbai Central - Firozpur Janta Express. Every day in the morning, while going to work, I used to see this wonderful train. Some days if I was lucky, I would get a nice and long parallel action with the train. Its regular locomotive link is supposed to be a Tughlakabad WAP-7, however many times it gets offlinks like Ghaziabad WAP-7s and Ghaziabad WAP-4s as well as other unusual locomotives (including goods locomotives sometimes). The 6 videos are all taken from a Borivali slow local train and showcase the Firozpur Janta Express overtaking my local train. They are taken over a period of 2 months and the descriptions can be seen as follows : 1. The Firozpur Janta Express curves and overtakes my local train between Bandra and Khar Road stations. The locomotive in charge was Tughlakabad WAP-7 (30340). 2. As my local train halts at Lower Parel, Tughlakabad WAP-7 (30219) with the Firozpur Janta Express slowly accelerates and pulls ahead of my train. 3. Great acceleration by offlink Vijayawada WAP-4 (22625) as it overtakes my local train with the Firozpur Janta Express between Khar Road and Santacruz stations. 4. My local train and the Firozpur Janta Express depart from Dadar simultaneously, and my local train tries to pull ahead, I enjoy amazing parallel action with Tughlakabad WAP-7 (30343), and the driver of the locomotive superbly accelerates the train and overtakes my local in the end. 5. A slow and steady overtake by the Firozpur Janta Express with offlink Itarsi WAP-4 (22967) between Lower Parel and Elphinstone Road stations. 6. Absolute class acceleration from 20 kmph to 90 kmph by Tughalakabad WAP-7 (30348) with the Firozpur Janta Express after finishing a temporary speed restriction between Andheri and Jogeshwari stations. Now I will no longer get to see this every morning, as my work timings are changing, but I really enjoyed those 2 months of seeing the Firozpur Janta Express every single morning. There were days I saw it with a Ghaziabad WAP-5 and a Jhansi WAG-7 also, but unfortunately I could not get it on video for some reasons. However I hope you enjoyed the videos. Please note : This is my first video using ShotCut video editor. Since YouTube video editor has been removed from 20th September, I had to use something else.
