LGD WAP4 with Yesvantpur Tatanagar Express enters Lotegolahalli at good speed, then slow down for gate signal. In the mean time the train gets a proceed and P4 accelerates and as it near me 2 huge sparks come out. The train is stopped immediately. Loco pilots try their best to get the loco back to work but with huge sparks coming they bring down the panto. After some inspection, they find out that a little branch from a tree was the cause and ALP bravely takes it out. The train finally proceeds with the Front Panto.
