First train of the day to be spotted was CSTM-PUNE Indrayani Express, with KYN WCAM3 #21958 in lead

As dual WCG2 bankers wait for brake testing halt, local traders hop on the buffers for a ride.

The banker duo with WCG2 #20156 in lead, rumbles down the ghats.

The Deccan Queen is bang on time, led by KYN WCAM3 #21835

Triple WDM2s going light down the ghats on the third (UP)line.

Another crack loco WCAM3 #21889 is the power for the CSTM-PUNE Intercity Express.

Triple WCG2 with two of them freshly painted, bank the CSTM-PUNE Intercity Express. One of the buffer riders seem to reading a newspaper

The Monkey Hill forms a nice background for loco of Pragati Express, led by KYN WCAM3 #21947

How will the monkeys with their long tails, adapt to situation, when the OHE is energised to 25KV AC? The amputed leg of the one in the picture, does not discourage it from climbing the OHE pole.

KOP-CSTM Sahyadri Express with KYN WCG2 #20116 in lead takes the third line via Nagnath. This is a staff shuttle with halts at Monkey Hill, Nagnath and Jambrung

Green is the color of the carpet that the nature woven over the catch sidings

7032 HYB-CSTM Express also gets a WCG loco. KYN WCG #20133

Here comes the departmental rake, which will work on upgrading the OHE to support 25KV AC. KYN WDS6 #36122 is in the lead, while a CLA WDS4D #19640 is at the rear

A close up of the KYN WDS6 #36122

Flat bed wagons are used for carrying the air compressor

CLA's WDS4D #19640 at the trailing end, would help the rake move in reverse direction, when required

The rake would now turn left and go towards Nagnath. Right on top of the hill in the background is the Behran Plateau

WCG2 #20115 goes light towards Khandala. Very rarely does one find a single light loco going up the ghats.

Close encounter with lead loco of a banker pair, KYN WCG2 #20149. The loco was stationary, else I would not have been able to upload this album :-)
