A short journey from Marwar to Pali Marwar; we boarded the 14822 Sabarmati - Jodhpur Express, led by VTA WAP-4. We departed Marwar when the 15014 Ranikhet Express was undergoing reversal and change of power. I expected it to overtake our train before Pali Marwar, but what really happened? Watch to find out.

Single-line MPS action | ICF vs LHB | Mumbai-bound Ranakpur Express was still running with ICF rakes when this video was taken. It rushed past at MPS on the single-line Jodhpur - Marwar section, as it headed towards its next halt - Pali Marwar. In a few minutes, the Bandra - Jodhpur weekly SF Express rushed past towards Jodhpur, having waited at Pali Marwar for the Ranakpur Exp to clear the section.

Stunning double-stack freight trains rumbling on the dedicated freight corridor at Marwar Jn.

Have you ever seen a high-rise pantograph return to a normal height or vice versa? As my 14822 Sabarmati - Jodhpur Express departed Marwar Jn., the HRPT of the WAP-4 locomotive returned to normal height gradually as we entered the Marwar - Jodhpur branch line.

A scene that can no longer be seen!! Mavli DLS (MVJ) YDM-4 idling sounds at Mavli Jn., before it began the journey westward with the Mavli Marwar Passenger special.

Part of this route is now closed for Gauge conversion, with only the Khambli Ghat - Marwar portion being retained as heritage.

A single uncut clip of ABR WDM3A chugging and honking its heart out through the Thar desert, leading the Munabao Barmer Passenger special.

Ep # 23 of the Rajasthan series. The very last episode, a simple flight journey back home. We started early on new year's day 2024, taking an auto to the airport, from where we boarded a flight to Hyderabad, from where we hopped on to our next flight for the final leg of the journey back home.

Ep #22 of the Rajasthan series, we had almost an entire day at Jaipur before flying back home the following morning. With Hitesh having planned to meet some of his friends, I took some rest, and went to explore the Jaipur Metro after lunch. I took it to one end, where I got to see the Hawa Mahal, and enjoy some khullad chai, and later traveled to the other end. Before returning back to the hotel, I stopped for a while at the Jaipur junction metro, and did some trainspotting from the metro platform itself.

Ep # 21 of the Rajasthan series, after checking into the dorm at Jodhpur, we began our journey back home the following morning, on board the Ranthambore Express. We were booked in its AC 3 Tier, coach B1, and leading our train from Jodhpur was a BGKT WDP4D. We had a chance encounter once again with the Palace on Wheels before our train arrived. It was pretty much an uneventful journey, the highlights were passing by the Sambhar Lake region and we eventually arrived Jaipur delayed by 45 mins, thanks to the slight fog.
