Full Coverage of 180kmph Speed Trials of BEML's 2nd Sleeper Vande Bharat Express | Indian Railways

As soon as the BEML's 2nd Sleeper Vande Bharat Express reached Kota for it's 180 km/hr speed trial. I immediately decided to capture this moment through my lens as I had previously missed out on capturing the 1st Sleeper Vande Bharat Express speed run. The trial run was scheduled between Nagda-Kota route and hence we initially landed at Suwasra station to catch the glimpse of the Sleeper Vande Bharat Express at it's full ferocity.

Little did we know that the trials stretch will be further shortened and the trial will now take place between Mahidpur Road and Chaumahla stations and with this news breaking, we immediately shifted base from Suwasra to Vikramgarh Alot to capture the speedy trial run of the Sleeper Vande Bharat Express. While shifting our base, the 1st trial run of Sleeper Vande Bharat Express was captured near Talavali station as it was clocking around 160 km/hr speed and the remaining 4 trials were captured at Vikramgarh Alot station.

A total of 4 trials took place between Mahidpur Road and Chaumahla stations and the 5th and Final trial eventually went all the way to Kota junction as the LPs notched it's full speed in the last trial run of the day we witnessed the full might of Sleeper Vande Bharat Express Nagda-Kota section of West Central Railways.

During this trial run, I happen to have a railfan meet up with all the railfans from Delhi region with the likes of Tushar Kumar, Ankit Pandey and Railfan Jitu and later at Kota we were joined by our railfan friend Piyush Sharma who also helped me in capturing the 1st trial of the Sleeper Vande Bharat while standing on the door of our 61616 Kota-Nagda MEMU. We all had a great time waiting for this trial run along with cherishing this rare 180kmph trial run of the Sleeper Vande Bharat Express.
