	Most of the BTPN rakes I have seen have had this arrangement. Since the cargo is often highly flammable material, having a caboose in between the loco and the rake, would give the loco crew enough time to escape to a safe distance in the event of an accident. But then what about the guard in the last caboose? Is the last wagon kept empty for the same purpose? Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Aug 15 11:46:58 +0100
	Nice shot! There is a pic of an old steam loco with a passenger service, shot at the same place more than 100 years ago (Hugh Hughes, Indian Locomotives part 1) Posted by Jimmy Jose on 2011 Aug 15 09:17:19 +0100

	Great sets of pics. REally great effort from you guys. A real adventure. And for a change no catenary, no WAMs, WAGs, only alcos (with due apologies to AC/DC fans). Posted by S.V. Sriram on 2011 Aug 14 18:47:46 +0100
	Pity that poor guy sitting in the caboose. No light absolutely when inside the tunnel. Posted by Vimalakar N C on 2011 Aug 14 18:03:20 +0100
