9066: JU-BDTS Express with VTA WDM-3A #18712 blasting past BSR. See the dust storm it raises, even when it had double yellow starter at BSR as an EMU was ahead of it.
@wizehop No they can't go with single crew.. Vasai to Vadodara one crew for container rakes only. Vadodara to Ratlam. I dont know about crew working between Ratlam to Delhi. Will find out. :)
@aamodnerurkar yes for sure, I will email you when I am settled in Mumbai and we can meet. Do the trains heading to Dehli crew change at all, or can they get to Delhi in one shift from Vasai Road?
@wizehop At Kopar the freight trains, especially containers which you see will be heading to/coming from port and will come to Vasai. They'll proceed straight up north to Delhi or in Gujarat. Most of them goto Delhi, there's inland container depot at Tughlakabad.
Even I enjoy freight operations more than passenger. :-) Lets see if we can meetup at Vasai for some freight spotting.. :D
@aamodnerurkar I'm moving from Canada...So in Kopar those are the trains coming from the port and heading to Pune? Im trying to learn India's freight system..its much more complex than North America's. I have been spending alot of time on the IRFCA but every one in India seems to be more exited with passenger service that "goods trains"
@aamodnerurkar Thank you very much, I am moving to Mumbai/ India for a few months and I''m looking for good places to see freight trains. I will have to check this place out. Do you know any other crew changes along the Mumbai Delhi route?
@wizehop 99.99% of freight trains stop at Vasai road. They have a crew change here. The ones that blast thru at full speed are those which goto or come from Mumbai. :-)
this is a awesome speed
