Loco Link of Geetanjali SF Exp and CSTM HWH AC Duronto Exp
Respected Sir,
With reference to the Subject as mentioned I would like to express my happiness to see WAP-7 Locomotive of Sheds like AJNI, Lallaguda and Ghaziabad coming as Offlink now with 12859 CSTM HWH Geetanjali SF Exp and 12261 CSTM HWH AC Duronto Exp.
I would like to convey my thanks to you and the Mechanical Staffs of Central Railway CSTM Division that for the efforts of all of you we the Railfans of South Eastern Zone and these two trains now able to see WAP-7 Locomotives with these two Prestigious trains of HWH CSTM Route. It is an irrefutable fact that without the Honest Effort of you and the Mechanical Staffs of Central Railway CSTM Division we can't be able to see WAP-7 Locomotives with these two Prestigious trains of HWH CSTM Route from CSTM to HWH.
Previously we can't see any WAP-7 with any SER Train in SER Zone. So many thanks to You and the Mechanical Staffs of Central Railway CSTM Division to Present us WAP-7 as an Offlink with these two Prestigious SER Trains.
Now I have the following two requests to you regarding this matter:
A. Kindly send WAP-7 as an Offlink with these two trains(i.e 12859 CSTM HWH Geetanjali SF Exp and 12261 CSTM HWH AC Duronto Exp) as more as possible from CSTM to HWH. Also please ensure that in the UP direction also(i.e HWH to CSTM) both of these trains will get WAP- 7 as Offlink as more time as possible and kindly try to make WAP-7 as a "REGULAR LINK" with both of these trains from APRIL 2016 onwards.
B I have already Lodged a Grievance regarding Non Availability of WAP-7 in SER Vide Registration No: MORLY/E/2015/05305 through PG PORTAL. The Grievance has been closed on 09th July,2015 and SER has replied that "No WAP-7 Loco has been allotted to S.E Railway by Railway Board".
So under the above Circumstances you are humbly requested to make necessary arrangements and help South Eastern Railway to get WAP-7 Locomotive in their TATA Electric Loco Shed which presently homes many WAG-9 and WAG-9H Locomotives for Freight Trains so that in future South Eastern Railway can use their OWN WAP-7 Locomotive of TATA Shed as a "REGULAR LINK" with the above mentioned two Trains.(i.e 12859 CSTM HWH Geetanjali SF Exp and 12261 CSTM HWH AC Duronto Exp).
Your Co-operation in this regard is Solicited.
Thanking You.
Regards
N. Ray

As a Railfan and traveler of both of these two Prestigious Trains I did this Little Effort. However all of you are humbly requested if in future WAP-7 seen as Offlink in either 12860/12859 Gettanjali SF Exp or 12262/12261 HWH CSTM AC Duronto Exp then kindly inform me through reply in this BLOG ONLY.
