It all started at kalmeshwar. Till there we were on time. From thereon we crawled till nagpur. Post Nagpur, the delay started to increase due to discontinuous MPS run due to alternate main line and loop line skips. Once raj OT was done at hinganghat, we had good clearance till bpq. After entering home zone, same story continued. A total of 8 loop skips happened in scr. 5 already mentioned in above blog posts and other 3 at jammikunta, hasanparthi road and jangaon.
We were stopped at komatipalli for 10 minutes as a freight rake was entering from wl side. Freight rake got the priority because at kazipet town 2 more freight rakes were waiting to enter the line.
Same...
more... way we were stopped before pagidipalli, to allow narayanadri to enter diesel line.
I have traveled many a times on this trunk route but never saw this much of freight traffic ever before.
We can say that telangana never got the chance to cover the delay. The slack between CD and bpq just helped in limiting the delay to an hour, otherwise the delay would have been more.
