Trains from the heavenly
North East Frontier Railways -
NFR is one of the 17
Zones of the vast
Indian Railways Network. NFR comprises of the entire state of
Assam,
Tripura,
Arunachal Pradesh ,
Nagaland , parts of
West Bengal &
Bihar. NFR is one of
India's most beautiful zones that is least explored. The trains are completely powered by
Diesel Engines
ALCo's &
EMD's.
The Zone is expected to get electrified in due course of time between
Burdwan and
Jalpaiguri.
This video does not cover the entire NFR
Zone, how ever a very beautiful spot was chosen to capture Trains that connect to & fro various parts of West Bengal & Assam.
Salbari is a small village located between
Cooch Behar and Jalpaiguri in the state of West Bengal .The main occupation of the villagers is Agriculture and
Rice is the prime crop cultivated here. Most of the trains were captured between these lush green
Paddy fields where the single
Broad gauge line takes a sharp curvature alignment between
Kolai Gram and Salvadi Stations. The water from the Galandi river is used for irrigation & drinking by the villagers.
The video was captured during the peak monsoon season hence you can see the nature at its best.
Hope you find this video rejuvenating as you hear the
Jet sound EMD's and the chugging
ALCO's conquering the virgin terrain.
About the intro
WDP4 GT46PAC 20012 christened as " BAAZ - In Sanskrit means
Falcon, the bird " was the one and only
Aerodynamic Fiber glass Cab fitted EMD that was painted in a unique
Blue and
Orange combo livery as seen. The
Locomotive was first homed at
Hubli EMD
Shed under
South Western Railways.
Later the
Loco was transferred to NFR's
Siliguri EMD Shed. The Shed ripped off the fiber glass cab of the loco which is now a thing of past. The intro is a tribute to one of my favorite Locos. The first Locomotive in this video is the same 20012 BAAZ in Siliguri Shed livery in the present day condition.
Never the less Siliguri shed has shown some interest to bring back the
Baaz Livery on few other WDP4s that can be seen in this video.
Please watch this video when you have 40 mins of free time, do not watch in a hurry!
Recommended to watch in full HD for best
