Howrah Secunderabad Falaknuma Express Storms Over the Baitarani River at 100 kmph

Very few large rivers which are crossed by trains in India offer the prospect of a high speed crossing. Either they are too close to large stations or the bridges are too old and require immediate repair, warranting a permanent speed restriction. The Baitarani River in the Jajpur district of coastal Orissa is a refreshing exception. The Baitarani, along with Brahmani and Mahanadi form a triumvirate in coastal Orissa, offering both agricultural opportunities through proper harnessing or destructive monsoon floods courtesy neglect and improper use. From a railfan's perspective, note the 12703 Howrah Secunderabad Falaknuma Express charging across the 686m Baitarani river in 24 seconds, registering a speed of effectively 102 kmph. The bridge is located between Bhadrak and Jajpur in the state of Orissa.
