The last part of the trip,
after completing the kharkopar ride, we reached nerul waiting for your csmt
local. We bid farewell to Sameer who had
come to accompany us from Panvel to kharkopar. Our csmt bound local came nerul
at 21:35; we all were almost tired and hungry , travelling
nonstop almost covering each part of the mumbai. we removed snacks from our
bags and started eating , I was very much tired so I doze off for some while ,
while others were busy in their social media and himanshu busy in noting down
each stuff. Just before reaching tilaknagar rajesh woke me up to say bye as he
was getting off at kurla, he was the one who joined last and one who was going
to get home first , we reached kurla at 22:05 , Bidding farewell to rajesh we
all started our nearly last leg of the journey, we were halted at wadala outer
for few minutes, saw bandra bound local acceleration towards king circle. After departing
from wadala , there were only 4 of us left in the first class coach , so parth from
no where started saying shayari , we
enjoyed his shayari and got our mood fresh.
After departing from dockyard road we went on the door to enjoy the cold
breeze, Took the pic of the moon with scattered clouds
There was Deccan odddesy rake stating in the yard ,
after departing from sandusrt road there was some train with wdp4d who was
coming , couldn't see the road number of the loco. As kasara fast was obstructing
the view. There were 2 brand new wdp4d
in CST platform waiting for their duty. We entered CST at 22:33
The
old clock at CSMT Our
train at CSMT
After
Exiting from CSMT , as it was eve of Christmas , the BMC hq and the CST had been lighten up with the lights , so we
went to the viewing galley to take the pic of the CSMT , here is the full pic of
CSMT on eve of Christmas ( 25th December 2018 )
After taking the picture, we were getting late to catch the
last train of the trip, so we hurried up and got a cab for CCG, it took almost 10 mins to reach CCG, Virar fast departed from pf:-4 as soon as we
reached the station, we went towards the food counter on the south end of the platform
, we bought snacks and in that much time , AC local entered the CCG platform ,
we were amaze to see the Ac local entering ccg at this time, AC local had completed its one year of service on 25th December 2018 , and AC
local doesn’t run on a public holiday. So that might for Motor men training
purpose
After 10 mins AC local departed for the BCT yard. We were
waiting at platform:-3 waiting for our BHY (f) as Sahil had to all way up bhayander.
Our local arrived at platform at 11:05, we boarded the
train, took the window seat. And felt relax as it was the last train of the day,
going back to home finishing the whole suburban section in entire one day, we just
missed the TNA - CSMT stretch. We reached Bct at 23:22 , the was a bunch of
public waiting to get on-board , half
the coach got full from Mumbai central,
BRC sf express was standing on pf:-2 , Brc hog wap7 30472 was hauling it
. Later superb acceleration between Mumbai central & dadar, Brc wap 22921
with dadar – bhuj waiting in yard, there was a huge crowd from dadar to board the
local. Even the Fc coach got full; we still had 35 mins left for the validity
of our ticket left. After departing from dadar we took selfie and started discussing
about our next plan, as Railfan never like to stop exploring new route. We reached bandra at 23:35 & departed at
23:37, after departing from santarcuz we had a parallel run with 22901 BDTS –
UDZ express, we overtook the train at
vile parle outer, train was hauled by BRC wap5 30099. We reached Andheri at 23:45,
22901 were skipping Andheri at 50 km/hr speed, and we were given a cross over
to slow line. AS Rjt duronto was just behind us, after getting to the slow line,
and just within few minute , Brc wap5 30045 was with RJT duronto it had parallel
overtaken 22901 .
Reached jos at 23:46, we skip ram mandir at a decent speed around 70 km/hr
as it was fully open route. Reached Goregaon at 23:51 sharp. And ended my
journey and all others switched over to second class and they already had daily
travel pass. It was really a day when we traveled the whole Mumbai section within
just one day straight. Starting from 1st train in morning till the
second last train in night.
If we had bought the tourist ticket we had to pay more than 2,000
for the first class ticket travel.
But in tourist ticket it just coasted us 275 rupees .
The plan was made by me, modified by himanshu, Picture credits
to Parth, Sahil. All the trains details,
service number noted by himanshu, I would like to thanks all four (Himanshu, Rajesh,
Sahil, Parth) of them to accompany me in my trip and make it possible.
Thanks for reading, will be back with another trip report
soon
Udit Mehta.
