Description: A full journey aboard the Janmabhoomi Express from Hyderabad to Visakhapatnam. The journey was undertaken in September 2018, when the electrification of the Secunderabad-Guntur stretch was still incomplete, resulting in the Janmabhoomi being hauled by a Gooty WDP4D between Secunderabad and Tenali. Enjoy the journey undertaken at the end of the monsoons, involving the crossing of the two great south Indian rivers -- the Krishna (two crossings) and the Godavari, along with a bright Telangana morning, and a sparkling Andhra sunset. Enjoy high speed crossings with the Falaknuma Express, Andhra Pradesh AC Express, Visakhapatnam Shirdi Express, Ratnachal Express, Anga Express and the Dakshin Express. The icing on the cake were two crossings -- one with the Circars express (twin Vijayawa WDP1) on the Godavari river, and the other with the Visakha Express at twilight (twin Kazipet WDG3A).
