The mighty WAG 12, a new sensation for Railfan community
The most charming yet, most powerful and advanced locomotive of our railways. There is a memory attached with this picture do read :)
So one morning 6:00 am, I got a call from my Railfan buddy Tushar (@tushardec4616). He told me this beast (WAG 12) is coming and its current location is Delhi Cantt. So usually train takes maximum 20 minutes to reach Gugaon(my place) from Delhi Cantt. So after hearing this news on phone, I immediately left my bed headed over to this location. By 06:15, I reached these railway tracks and wait for this beast began.
At 6:20 it was at Bijwasan (5 kms away from my place) So it should be here in next 5 minutes.
But no no no, things don't work that way. It was more than an hour and no sign of this train coming. It was standing at Bijwasan from 6:20, and.now it was 07:40. Sadly I had a very important work to do at home so decided to go back but still I waited for 10 minutes more. But then also I got no sign of its arrival. But finally when I was about leave, I got a phone call from another Railfan buddy Kunal and he asked me if I'm still waiting or not but now (I was just leaving) He told me this train has departed Bijwasan.
I felt yay! and I took my position.
07:57 I could hear that majestic honking. It was none other then this beast. But story doesn't end here. So I took my position at a fair distance started clicking but here's what amazed me.
Lets say these are tracks-
A_B________C
I was at point A and this train was coming towards me from point C. It was supposed to pass from here at descent speed but instead it slowed down while approaching towards me and I was shooting it. Just in front of my eyes, like a model, at point B it stopped like if its saying(Okay click my picture I'm your model).
But instead I got afraid and thought maybe I did something wrong. I stopped clicking pictures. But nope that was not the case. I looked behind my back and I found red signal. That was the reason it stopped right in front of me. So without wasting more time I turned my camera on that's how the pictures mentioned below were clicked :)
Note it stood here for just 3 seconds and when that signal turned green I got to witness that powerful acceleration of this mighty beast. That sound it produced was incredible. If you want to watch that video, visit my Instagram profile @freakyonwheels and check highlight 'RF Moments'
Now I won't utter a single word, you can take a look at these pictures now ;)
