Thrilling Race between Deccan Queen and LTT-Prayagraj Duronto (October 3, 2022)

[@RakeshSharma-pz9oi]

Sir, I am also a rail fan, born in 1971 I could recognise a train as a goods train or a passenger train back in 1990's by it's horn only. I had mugged up "Trains at a glance" back then. I thought myself as a greatest Rail fan then, but then हर गुरु का महागुरु होता है। Hats off to you. You started recording train action back in 1990's when there was no TH-cam. I mean to say that at present several persons have started there you tube channel for income, you did it in 1990's purely for your passion and love for rails, and preserved the tapes too. I wish if I was capable, I would surely recommend your name for padmshri Sir. Regards

[@ManiVijay]

Thanks a lot for your kind feedback. It is true that I started recording in the 90s mainly to capture my IR journeys and enjoy them, repeatedly, after coming back to US. Back then, it was the only way for me to relive my IR experiences.

[@mvikyk]

Well said about passion in IR. Fully agree about Mani Sir. The metal sound on the track sounds very sweet. Yummmmmy. Buying 'trains at a glance' was a hobby for me in those years

[@arzan1980]

Excellent parallel run after diva thane new lines started. Since you must have slowed down from Bhandup thats why duronto caught up with you. One rare of a parallel run

[@Unknown-yv7xy]

Nice to c ya bro

[@ManiVijay]

Correct! The Duronto caught up with because of our slowdown.

[@arzan1980]

@@ManiVijay Also after getting clearance, how the Wag7 hauling Dq started accelerating madly and finally overtook and went past duronto. You were lucky to get Wag7. Class of a goods loco

[@arunabhapaul8656]

Sir do you know that the WCAM3 now renamed as WAG7M

[@adithyavaidyanathan]

This is probably the first instance where I am seeing two trains skipping Thane together. Beautiful coverage, Sir. Didn't the Duronto catch up again after that?

[@AZtravelworld]

Duronto will not be allowed by operators to catch up because as per scheduling to skip Kalyan Deccan queen does it fors than followed by duronto

[@owaisshaikh3001]

It is because Deccan Queen Central line par thi aur vo dusri train Ltt ki line pr

[@shrikantmandpe7261]

Duronto cannot be called a legend.
