Fellow IRI member's presenting you the inaugural run of the Big Boss of CR (as mentioned by S.V.Iyer's sir),the one and only the mighty LTT-NZM AC Express.
Finally after a wait of over 4 months,the Central Railways(CR) finally gets to see it's own Rajdhani train.Fellow Railfan's lets give a warm welcome to CR's first LHB Rajdhani ie. the LTT-NZM AC Express.
As soon as i got the news about the inaugural run of the CR's Rajdhani,i had made up my mind that at any cost i will capture the inaugural run of this...
more... train.So as the day arrived for it's inaugural run i sprang into action and ran towards Bhandup station to catch first glimpse of this train.
Now as the clock struck 2:46 pm i heard huge honking from the 3rd Line ie Lokmanya Tilak Terminus(LTT) bound line and the moment i saw a WCAM-3 approaching with red shining LHB Rakes,i quickly took my camera out and started recording the exclusive inaugural run.
Led by the KYN's workhorse WCAM-3#21890,the LTT-NZM AC Express announced it's arrival with some fine honking show accompanied with some good sparking as well as it cruised past the 3rd line at a good speed.As the WCAM-3 neared me a moment of joy ran through my mind and i started cheering the moment the train went past me.Really this was one of the most awaited trains of this year and i am really glad that i got to see it's inaugural run :)
This is probably the first AC Express that has a Pantry Car,the rake composition on it's inaugural run is as follows:-
(Loco-EOG-A3-A2-A1-H1-PC-B10-B9-B8-B7-B6-B5-B4-B3- B2-B1-EOG)
