Description: The trip was originally designed to capture twin Alcos - Monday evenings witness two back-to-back twin Alcos on the Surat-Vasai stretch - the Rajkot Secunderabad Express and the Okha Ernakulam Express. After viewing the magnificent combinations from Kazipet and Ernakulam respectively, I headed back to Bombay on the Ahmedabad Shatabdi. This compilation focuses on the this latter segment, covering the Shatabdi's journey through the Western Railway suburban section between Virar and Bombay Central. Enjoy the rapid skips of Virar and Vasai, followed by a sedate run between Borivalli and Bandra, after which the Shatabdi really sprints till Mahalaxmi. The evening sights and sounds of central Bombay and Bandra are captured, along with the busy suburban action as the packed fast locals keep whizzing past on a busy weekday evening.
