wam4_21344_bhillai_pui_adi_exp_bd.jpg

With all those WAP4 photos going up, I thought I should stick up for the underdog. This is one of my first few photos ever. Bhillai's WAM4 6P 21344 brings the Puri Ahmedabad Express on a hot afternoon. Badnera Station, 2001-11. Alok Patel.

wag5hb_twin_boxn_tuljapur.jpg

Another set of underdogs. WAG5 HBs are rarely praised for their looks or lugging power. Here's a twin set with a coal rake between Wardha and Nagpur. Lash ups of these BHEL built Jhansi based WAG5 HBs are rare these days. Tuljapur, 2001-11. Alok Patel.

This is the only double-lined tunnel on Konkan railway. The platform loop of the station, turns away from the main line much before the station and hence requiring a double-lined tunnel. Ukshi, 2005-08-23. Binai K. Sankar.

This is a Gang Hut. The rocks in the background are covered using metal wire nets. THe nets have been overgrown by the lush vegetation. A tunnel can be seen at a distance. On KRCL, 2005-08-23. Binai K. Sankar.

Another shot of the ABR twins with the Ashram express. The rail fan in the river must have had an even better view than me!. Sabarmati, 2005-08-17. Abhijit Lokre.

DSC02052.jpg

A long shot of the Rajdhani as it crosses the Sabarmati. The rake composition looks like EOG, HA, two 2AC, pantry and rest 3AC. I counted ten bogies in all, which means there were four 3ACs. Sabarmati, 2005-08-17. Abhijit Lokre.
