That was a Rocket and indeed it went like a Rocket !!! - Video

Before I could understand what was happening, the train had already passed by and I had captured it. A new place in scorching heat of Coastal India for a railfanning is always a very huge challenge. To spend an hour and a half also feels like 4-5 hours. Such was the heat. But it was fun as well.
Found a new spot in Udupi where trains pass at a high speed and also we can enjoy the single line view on a curve. All the positives at one spot only.
