Karnataka Exp. at Khandwa - Mahanagri footplate (July 1992)

We pulled into Khandwa after a 1 hour 54 minute run from Bhusaval. The double-headed Karnataka Exp. was waiting on the adjacent platform. Note the MG rail bridge at the very beginning of the video.

[rahuls1s]

just a question out of curiousity : Is that double headed Karnataka Express run by electircal engine like WAM/WAP or is it something that runs on diesel like the ones on Goa to Kolhapur??

Thanks...

@rahuls1s At that time, the Karnataka used to be electric hauled between New Delhi and Itarsi. From there on, it used to get twin WDM2s.

@vb642 This practice is still there and the Karnataka now gets twin WDM3D from Itarsi.

@vb642

its as if the train is using 'reversers' to decelerate - just like planes do ... :D
