Join me aboard the 19725 Khatipura–Darbhanga Amrit Bharat Express for a complete journey from Gomti Nagar to Gorakhpur Junction, hauled by twin Erode WAP7 locomotives!
This 1 hour 14 minute railway journey has everything a railfan could ask for — twin WAP7s accelerating to 110 km/h, numerous express and freight train encounters, non-stop station runs, unexpected signal checks, and an unforgettable monsoon crossing of the flooded Ghaghra River over Elgin Bridge.
But the biggest surprise? We kept encountering the same Raptisagar Express throughout the journey! First seen racing through Gomti Nagar before our departure, it repeatedly appeared ahead of us, influencing our progress all the way to Gorakhpur.
Highlights of this journey:
Twin Erode WAP7 locomotives — 37998 and 37999
High-speed running at 110 km/h
A dramatic crossing of the flooded Ghaghra River on Elgin Bridge during heavy rain
Multiple express trains and rare locomotive combinations
Unexpected signal checks and encounters with Raptisagar Express
A locomotive-filled arrival at Gorakhpur Junction
A special personal moment — the Alambagh WDG4 locomotive whose livery I designed!
The journey begins at Gomti Nagar, passes through Barabanki and Gonda, and concludes at Gorakhpur Junction, where the same Raptisagar Express is waiting alongside us.
Watch until the end for the final locomotive shots and the departure of Amrit Bharat Express.
