Poochi Venkat's photo in more detail. This covers the last run of the meter-gauge electric loco YAM1. On that day, the starter had a malfunction and refused to change from Red. Probably they had become friends of each other. Finally, a paper authority was produced and the train was made to proceed on its last journey by the heartless humans!

IR had a convention of its own! This loco from Pune 16013R was all decked up and brought in a rake of 5 "inspection cars", one of which was then attached to Mr. Saha's Azad Hind Express. The PA systems kept asking IR officials to please use the IRICEN Maruti car as their transport to the convention venue...!!! Please do delete this poor picture - i took it in a STRIPED shirt with RPF a few feet away, and my nerves got the better of me ;-(
