While myself wanted to enjoy the RF day, left my house at 230pm, A full 90 mins early to catch the Intercities lined up for Afternoon with CORO.
As i setup my position at Ramrajatala, a couple of RPF personnel was found strolling down the station, not sure they were on Duty or they were in other work across the station, tried to find myself a place on a FOB at the station.
As i waited to catch some views of the passing trains,suddenly found some harsh honking from across the Howrah Side.Thinking what could be it so late with Alco,it appeared from a distance and judging from the length of the rake, it was the RSA rake of 18001 Hwh - Digha KANDARI Exp.
