High-Speed – First & Fastest Bhopal Habibganj Shatabdi burning & screaming @ 150 Kmph…! 900th Video HD
A dream comes true for me; the action which any rail-fan would like to witness and capture in his/her lifetime. Indian Railways High Speed; the First and the Fastest Shatabdi of India; Fastest Shatabdi of India; 12002 New Delhi/NDLS - HabibGanj/HBJ, better known as The King Bhopal Shatabdi Express burning the track at top notch of 150 Km/ph with the High Speed Locomotive WAP-5 # 30028 from Ghaziabad (GZB) shed which was honking at its BEST. This is video # 900 on my YouTube channel. Notice the man crossing and jumping in front of this cracker and Milk can placed at edge of the station within the white safety line placed at 7 foot from the edge of station. One can see the dust storm raised and tree dancing due to force of train. Shatabdi overtook CSTM bound 12138 Punjab Mail which can be seen in siding hauled by Ghaziabad WAP-4 and it seems that this is the first sight of the same on YouTube. I deliberately did not pan in the direction of train due to dust which got into my eyes and T-shirt. Since there was RPF looking around from AC coaches of Punjab Mail, I asked one of my friend to stand beside me so that my Cam does not get noticed. Though this Shatabdi is not coming as Fastest train in terms of average round trip numbers after it got extended up to Habibganj, however this is the Fastest train in terms of speed which it achieve in its run i.e. 150 Kmph followed by few Mumbai bound Rajdhani at 140 Kmph on this same scratch. Bhopal Shatabdi was introduced on November 14, 1988 between New Delhi and Jhansi, which was later extended to Bhopal and recently got extended up to Habibganj. Another High sped train is tested and will get introduced before this year end in between New Delhi and Agra which will run at 160 Kmph. After its inaugural it will take the title of Fastest Train of India from Bhopal Shatabdi Express. After capturing Mumbai – Ahmedabad Shatabdi and Pune –Secunderabad Shatabdi, this is my 3rd Shatabdi in Shatabdi Express playlist which can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa_YCZ5xI3jnQstOSnYrVdaB0LsSQhKqd Location: Sholaka, Haryana Date & Time: 14-Sept-14, 6:55 AM
