Compilation of videos taken at Fatehpur during my last trip to Allahabad in March, 2018.

Earlier it was part of the East India Company Railways before the independence later taken over by the Indian Railways. The section has a lot of freight action as well passenger trains and my favorite Rajdhani Gang of NDLS-MGS Section! Rajdhani's are given top most priority in this whole route and all trains are looped for giving way to this gang!

Since back to back Rajdhani's depart from Mughalsarai in the night, one can witness their back to back action anywhere in the entire section. All passenger and freight trains are looped for hours for passing this gang at top priority so that they aren't delayed due to late clearances, thus allowing them to maintain their top speed i.e. 130kmph!

After reaching Fatehpur, we witnessed the 12403 Allahabad-Jaipur SF Express getting looped for the twin overtakes by 12393 Sampoorna Kranti Express and 12381Poorva Express.

The video also contains the thrashing of 12329 West Bengal Sampark Kranti Express overtaken by back to back 4 Rajdhani Express bound for New Delhi. After the overtakes happened we boarded 12329 till Kanpur for our onward journey back to home, Delhi.

The video is continuation to this video taken at Sirathu, after which we came to Fatehpur for later action.
