For overtake by HWH-RXL Exp & probably ECR not wanting to accept it so early. I don't think ER will late start it, as there is maintainance block over HWH-BWN up lines post midnight .

Himgiri Express when started, used to take about 29 Hrs. in 1978 (with WDM2/ICF rake) which is now 37 Hrs. in 2023 (with WAP7/130mps etc).

TEN to MS by 6120 Nellai Exp - Part 2: ALCO-filled Night (Dec 1999): This turned out to be one of my favorite overnight journeys behind an ALCO, since the GOC WDM2 in charge was a royal chugger and my 2A coach was 2nd from the loco. Naturally, ALCO sounds - chugs, honking, uneven idling - are liberally sprinkled throughout the video. This covers the journey from Madurai till Villupuram. Be sure to enjoy the following:
- Plenty of chugging :-)
- Our train playing hide-n-seek with the MG Rameswaram-Coimbatore Exp. from Madurai

Himgiri Express has a huge slack between Howrah and Patna. Why?
Himgiri Express can be easily speeded up to 2 hrs.

Himgiri Express when started, used to take about 29 Hrs. in 1978 (with WDM2/ICF rake) which is now 37 Hrs. in 2022 (with WAP7/130mps etc). The train is slowest in Asansol division maybe due to overtakes, long stoppage time at Jasidih & ECR may want to accept it late. ER may not prefer to leave Himgiri early morning from Howrah.

2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
