Double Duty & Full-Day 12019/20 Howrah–Ranchi High-Speed Run | HWH-RNC-HHW | SER&ER | MSTS | PART-1

This is Manianta A(Nani), Today we taking charge of Shatabdi Double Duty: Full-Day 12019/12020 Howrah–Ranchi from Howrah(HWH) TO Ranchi Jn(RNC) and to return to Howrah(HWH).

Experience a complete high-speed double duty run of the iconic 12019/Howrah–Ranchi Shatabdi Express and its return working 12020/Ranchi–Howrah Shatabdi Express in this immersive OpenRails activity stream, capturing the full day diagram from the driver’s seat. Starting from the busy Howrah Junction (HWH), the simulation recreates the morning dash towards Ranchi (RNC) with realistic acceleration, braking, and station work at key halts like Kharagpur, Jhargram, Chakulia, Tatanagar, Muri, and beyond, before turning the rake around for the evening sprint back to Howrah as 12020. A high-powered WAP-7/WAP-4 leads a modern Shatabdi rake with AC Executive Chair Car and AC Chair Car coaches, modeled with smooth OpenRails physics so you can feel every notch, brake application, and gradient as the train slices through Eastern Railway and South Eastern Railway territory at Shatabdi speeds.
​
The activity combines both directions into one continuous duty: manage turnaround times at Ranchi, adhere to strict Shatabdi timings, and handle variable traffic with crossings and overtakes that will test your timing and throttle skills. Multiple camera views—cab ride, coach views, lineside, and chase cams—showcase lush countryside, urban approaches, bridges, and curves along the Howrah–Ranchi corridor, while HUD/TSDR-style overlays (if enabled in your setup) provide speed, gradient, and timetable information for a professional operating feel. Perfect for railfans and sim lovers, this stream focuses on clean driving, realistic horn use, smooth brake handling into platforms, and punctual departures, making it ideal both as entertainment and as a reference for serious OpenRails drivers.
​
