I have a memory related to this station, in June 2014, I was returning from Pratapgarh on 12184 PBH-BPL SF, the train was already rescheduled by 4 hours from PBH due to late arrival of pairing rake. I was travelling with my Father, Mother, Aunt and Little Sister, our Ticket was in WL, which get confirmed at the last moment due to 3 extra Sleepers attached in train. As most RFs I like to see the night lights from trains so I was awake till LKO, after train departed LKO, I thought to have a little sleep and I remember the after some time train halted at Sonik station, I thought maybe due to it being off slot we are getting some overtakes. So I slept. In the morning around 6-6:30 when I woke up I saw that train is still at Sonik station. My father woke up and asked me...
more... "Jhansi nikal gya kya?" I replied "Abhi Kanpur hi nhi aaya". He was shocked ki "Lucknow se to raat me nikal gye the , Kanpur kese nhi phche". Reason was failure of JHS WDM 3D which was hauling our train, a WAG 7 came from CNB and bought our train till CNB, from CNB another D-Loco was attached in front of failed Loco and we moved towards JHS. At JHS yet again our train went for Loco Change this time, a fresh WDM 3A was provided by Jhansi and we reached Bhopal with delay of more than 10 hours. It was such a tiresome yet a very memorable journey.
