RF at Chennai : Race with WAP-4 Intercity Express

[@dheerajrao]

Now THIS is what I call a proper parallel action video...garnished with some nice crossings. Awesome!!

[@NatarajanC12119]

@abhishekl191288 Thank you.... WDP-4 is used as links for some trains between MAS and MDU... So KJM uses sanghamitra to send loco to Chennai.... Hope you got it....

[@NatarajanC12119]

@karthikabbilash Thank you very much..

[@ManiVijay]

Nice parallel action! Love this cat and mouse game :-)

[@NatarajanC12119]

@rajnikantsharma It was before time and it was following a Goods train.....

[@NatarajanC12119]

@atherayas Thank you...

[@NatarajanC12119]

@shivamishaan Sorry... could not fill the description morning as i went for rf trip early morning... My train was EMU....

[@NatarajanC12119]

@vb642 Yes sir..... i was lucky enough to get this......

[@sridharneelakanta]

Very nice video. Lucky to have experienced parallel run and several crossings. No doubt there must have been a couple of EMU crossings too onto your right which are not captured. Thanks.

[@NatarajanC12119]

@mansees Thank you very much..... No it is used to avoid loco reversal at Renigunta... Thank you for the information......

[@shr011104]

Wonderful capture of a series of crossings, provides a great insight into track management by IR. Great episode of railfanning. Thanx for posting, Sir.

[@rsraman123]

Very nice compilation. Particularly the speed of intercity exp at the beginning was good! Well Done.

[@timusarsim]

Good video! Interesting to see a Jan Shatabdi chair car attached to the normal rake!

[@rajnikantsharma]

Any reason why the inter-city was crawling that day or is it a usual occurence for long-distance trains and EMU's to move together for that much time/distance?

[@AbLeopard19]

nice video...! why is the Patna - Bangalore Sanghamitra express hauled by a dp4 instead of an electric loco?

[@NatarajanC12119]

@rajeesidh Thank you....

[@vvenky1991]

Beautiful chain of events Sir ! Wonderful.

[@NatarajanC12119]

[@shivamishaan]

[@NatarajanC12119]

@dheerajrao Thank you.......

[@pulakganguli7489]

Good

[@abhi16883]

nice video!............

[@RajKumar_srk5592]

Nice race with my present favourite intercity😍. Nowadays kovai is slightly slower than intercity.

[@balajimannar2007258090]

awesome , superb parallel action.nice

[@FinalCounterStrike]

Excellent Job !!!!

[@avinuvenkis]

I think kovai/ intercity is one of the fastest day trains in India. good video sir

[@RajKumar_srk5592]

avinuvenkis yes CBE intercity, kovai express and vaigai express are fastest intercity type trains. Among these 3 kovai express has a slight edge over other 2.

[@sriramvenkatesh6134]

Thats Sapthagiri :O u Caught a Rare one!!! without its original Dress :P

[@NatarajanC12119]

Thank you.. :)

[@OnlyTrainsIR]

[@ANKUSHAJMANI1652]

NICE RACES

[@FrancisBoscoI]

Well captured, Very Nice :)

[@immanuelrailfans7111]

Very good

[@germdios]

it all depend on signals...........thats it, anyway nice picturing thanks

[@manager7680]

@natarajanakrishna I think any loco cnt beat an EMU upto 0 to 100kmph..i think so..

[@siva47777]

ARUMAIYAANA PADAPIDIPPU ....VAAZHTHUKKAL

[@NatarajanC12119]

If you are so good in planning.. Go and do the controller's job... You will then know the problems they face... With more trains and less platforms one can do only this much...

[@lavishravan]

22828 is of ED Now

[@fuck34955]

you are good i like it

[@NatarajanC12119]

Dai.. it is MAS TPTY Express.. it shares rakes with Sapthagiri Express.. :P

[@00crashtest]

Indian trains are wayyy wayyy underpowered. One loco should not be hauling more than 12 average coaches (10 North American/Japanese coaches). Even that EMU has somewhat slow acceleration for locomotive passenger trains in the developed world (which is already giving India an unfair advantage). That Intercity Express accelerates even more slowly than a 100+ wagon North American/Aussie train!

[@maheumar78]

Video suggests, Intercity did N ur EMU didnot stop at basinbridge :-), pity

[@NatarajanC12119]

mahesh kumar It did, but i did not record the EMU stopping and departing from Basin bridge.. :)

[@sriramvenkatesh6134]

ok..But Still U got it Widout its Dress :D

[@sujitgopalmohanty3594]

Ok ok

[@mojeshkumar9107]

Poojakumari

[@SebPowen]

i wasted my 10 minutes

[@SukumarDevaguptapuLife-Smiles]

Stupid and poor planning. There is no justice to either side..You have 18+ coaches for the inter city and it is speed is curbed...and the local which is catering to quick and speed commuters..is also hampered. This is a bad-product mix -- at the end of the day.. it is a waste of resources, and importantly wasting the commuters time...disgusting...!!

[@sridharneelakanta]

Not so bad as to be disgusting sir. A train is half a kilometer long and it takes time to pass over points---similar to long trucks with 20-30 wheels going over a speed-breaker on roads. Speed cannot be more than 20-25 KMPH over these heavily pointed tracks as otherwise the wheels will jump. Also it is because the outstation trains may have to cross 4-5 pairs of tracks in order to reach the allotted platform there will be sharp turns. This together with the "piece-wise linear structure" of a train does not allow one to increase speed beyond 20 KMPH or so. The EMU going sloe and getting stopped may be due to platform not being clear in Central Suburban. In all cases the traffic controllers moto is to bring the train as close as possible to the point beyond which it is sort of not possible to move further. This explains why the CBE intercity was blasting past Villiwakkam only to slow down near/in BBQ.
