Owing to a busy schedule, I couldn't find time to make any of those longer journeys from South India. Hence, something from the Bangladesh Border along West Bengal. Also the reason why this video does not have the traditional collection of photos in the end.
Train : 02378 New Alipurduar - Sealdah Padatik Express
Loco : Siliguri WDG4 #12380
While I wouldn't term SGUJ WDG4 and SDAH WAP7 Twins as offlinks, they were definitely not the regular links of SGUJ WDP4 and HWH WAP7. This was my first spotting of Sealdah WAP7. This was also my first instance of spotting Twin WAP7 (both live) powering an Express train.
The 12377 / 12378 Padatik Superfast Express is a daily Superfast train which runs between Sealdah in West Bengal and New Alipurduar in West Bengal via New Jalpaiguri (Siliguri) in West Bengal. Currently, it runs as 02377 / 02378 Padatik Special with the same timings and halts.
The train covers a distance of 719 kilometres (447 mi). The train belongs to Eastern Railways and travel time over the whole route is just over 12 hours. This train is named after renowned Bengali poet Subhash Mukhopadhyay's book Padatik.
