My Trip from Durg to TATA sharing my photos of rail fanning onboard South Bihar Express recently changed terminal from Dnr to RJPB very exited to go this train, i have already traveled this train most of time because of convenience and timings punctuality, but this time its different first thing is i have became a hard core Rail fan, and second thing its terminal changed from DNR to RJPB Rajendra Nagar Terminus Bihar so this journey is just like to a newly inaugurated train.
So i am starting my trip hope you enjoy :)

ON 19 July 2015: I woke up early morning on 5 AM as whole night i have not slept well because of excitement, but it is not necessary to discuss. Baggage is already packed on previous night so no tension about baggage auto rickshaw which i hired previous night is came on time, he loaded all baggage and we (I and my MOM) said good bye to my home and my father at 6:30AM. At Sharp 6:55AM auto rickshaw dropped in station where i started my Rail Fanning i have taken DURG station building outside (PIC1) and RRI of DURG (PIC2) after that entered the platform, South Bihar's regular platfrom is #4 on Durg so even not announcement i know where it will be going to shunted actually it is shunted on previous night or at 3AM because of station premises stayed blank all trains comes from HWH goes to 1 or 2 and, going to HWH and other from 3 so 4 remains blank and thats why they shunted the train 3AM on Night. Well this is the thing about Durg premises now we back to our trip first when i got down to PF 4 from FOB i shocked CC of South Bihar Express totally changed after shifting terminal from DNR to RJPB :O its my reaction :P. New CC is totally different and i request to Admins that change the CC of same in IRI site, After i saw new CC i shocked first thing comes in my mind weather they changed its regular Link of SRC WAP-4 or not, but before i go see to Eng link i have to board on train and set my baggage on my reserved seat which is Side Lower and Side Upper. I was very lucky i found my coach near Engine. So after board in coach and set the baggage to its place i got down from coach and go to near engine and after seeing the Regular Link i felt relief that SRC is going to haul which is aggressive Engine in our SECR and SER region and this engine will lead us without any delay and i was right. I taken the Picture of Loco which is WAP 4 SRC Shed and 22502 series (PIC 3), taken Train Board Image because it is changed when terminal changed (PIC 4),here comes a twist, a GRP Officer grabs me while taking pictures and asked question about the same but that time I was lucky he was a very nice guy. He just asked question that why I was taking pics of Train Board Engine number and coaches? I told him that I'm doing Rail Fanning he asked what is rail fanning? I told him politely that some peoples like cricket that called Cricket Fans, some peoples like Football they proudly say that they are Football fans so some of peoples like and love Trains Engines and its sounds so we proudly says that "WE ARE RAIL FANS" and we takes pictures of loco number station pictures and share it to all fellow rail lovers and we feel same like when a Cricket lover feels when some one play good and makes 50 and 100. He was very satisfied with my answer and told that Indian Railways have some rules, that pictures can be taken but on limit, as railways are facing difficulties from problems created by Maoists and Terrorists. SECR and SER is mostly affected region where anytime anything bad can be happen due to them. He gave some examples about derailment of trains in Kirandul section which is highly effected area and Maoists activity is seen in latest on Mumbai-Howrah trunk route and also told about Jananeshwari Express's worst train accident done by Maoists. These days they had become more high tech and possess good knowledge plus command over computer and internet. They got all info shared on net and use this info to do worst things, so be careful while sharing images or any sensitive information. After talking to GRP personnel, I thanked
him and did not took his photo as I felt it would not be good to reveal his identity, so returned back to my rail fanning but, one thing that revolves around my mind is, what do they get my doing all these things? Is it political mileage or some other motive behind it?. After that i have seen time in clock its 7:15 AM only 10 mins remaining to departure. I quickly saw the CC (coach composition) taken some snaps of Charting on Coaches (PIC 5) and before boarded the train taken my coach picture its shining EC 91334 (PIC 6 & 7) recently Poh'd (PIC 8). On Right Time train gives a long horn and starts moving towards its destination. Train slowly starts gathers speed Provided by WAP-4 SRC 22502 Shed (PIC 3). After crawling reached Raipur before time as Pune Duranto is some late so no OT incident till Raipur but on Raipur because of Duranto we gotten late by 10 mins but the crawler SRC WAP4 taken his duty seriously and train entered like a boss in Bilaspur 10 minutes before :P. Reached Tata on Time some pictures which is still in my gallery will update time to time.
