Unexpected offlink: ALCo WDM3A #16801R of DLS Gonda (NER); hauling 15930 Dibrugarh – Chennai Egmore Express, captured near Changsari, Assam.
The usual link of this train is ALCo WDM3A of DLS Andal (UDL), ER.
Please NOTE:
Please do watch carefully to the SIGNAL, that I am focusing right after the train crosses it. That’s a GATE SIGNAL. Usually, this type of Multi Aspect Colour Light (MACL) Singal has track circuits, so it changes from GREEN to RED as soon as the locomotive (being the first one to cross) of the train crosses the point of track circuit, but in case of GATE SIGNAL, you will notice that, the light changes from GREEN to RED only when the level crossing gate is opened.
Earlier, this GATE signal played a vital role when there was no road over bridge (ROB) in the national highway, but now the situation has changed and the traffic through the gate has decreased manifold due to the road overbridge.
