Rajdhani vs Rajdhani Express : ICF BILASPUR Rajdhani challenges LHB HOWRAH Rajdhani

Running late by some 50 minutes, the New Delhi bound Howrah Rajdhani (12301) is challenged by the bang on time running New Delhi bound Bilaspur Rajdhani (12441). On board the Howrah Rajdhani, I thoroughly soak the pleasure as the race attains more tension and excitement. The Bilaspur Rajdhani is led by a AJNI WAP-7 numbered #30296 while my Howrah Rajdhani was led by #30330 numbered Howrah WAP-7. The ICF vs LHB race is exciting, though not long lived as the Bilaspur Rajdhani hardly fails to throw up any challenge as we move ahead through Tilak Bridge. In hindsight, the defeat of the ICF Bilaspur Rajdhani seems to signify the LHB revolution taking place fast in Indian Railways usurping the ICF domination. Date of Capture : December 2, 2014. Location : Pragati Maidan Curve, New Delhi.
