WDM 3D-WAP4-WAG7-WAP7 | Evolution of VISWABHAHARTI & MAYURAKSHI Fast Passenger | From ALCo to WAP7

  • 6 years ago
53045/46 Howrah - Rampurhat - Howrah Mayurakshi Fast Passenger(via Andal) & 53047/48 Howrah - Rampurhat - Howrah Viswabharati Fast Passenger (via Bolpur) \r
were the sole passenger services for many years connencting Howrah to the semi northern parts of West Bengal , long before the existence of so many Exp train ervices to those parts .\r
A small compilation of the gradual evoluation of these two trains , starting form the glorious ALCo days to the present WAP 4/WAP 7 days . Someone might say that a mighty WAP 7 with these passenger services is unneccesary ..but WAP7 with these 2 trains never disaapoints me , or even a WAP 4 .\r

Many thanks to RF Sayan Mazumdar , Anirban Rakshit & Sourav Konar for providing me with the WAP7 videos and the pictures .\r
