Escaping from the hustle-bustle of Mumbai, yet again! – Part 2

Saturday November 16th had found me on a mini-trip to Igatpuri; in order to escape the hustle-bustle of a workaholic city like Mumbai. I had reached there by 15017 LTT-GKP Kashi express (via BSB).

A Summer Saturday Morning Trip to Pune

Yes. Yet another outing to Pune - hope you won't get bored by now 😛 .

Where were we? Ah! The  megablock of Sunday March 11th...it had taken its toll on 11024 KOP-CSMT Sahyadri express - as it took 2 hrs 45 mins to cover a distance of merely 63 km from Pune to LNL - at a speed of approximately 23 kmph - something that could have been achieved by…Read more Mega Block Blues – Part 2

A Sunday morning outing to Talegaon

It was 22nd of January - A Sunday. Pretty unusual to be out of bed by 05 15, and out of the house by 06 15, right ? Nope, not for a railfan 😉 . He who is slow to wake up otherwise 😀 . Anyway, I managed to get an auto to Vikhroli ; where…Read more A Sunday morning outing to Talegaon
