30207_G.jpg

WAP7 #30207 hauls out the Poorva Express to Howrah. Note how dirty the loco is looking on the sides. One wishes that CLW chose a better livery for these beasts. Shivaji Bridge, Delhi, 23/01/2005. By Shashanka.

22324_G.jpg

A pristine looking WAP4e #22324 from WR's Vadodara shed is incharge of the Paschim Express to Bandra Terminus (Mumbai). Shivaji Bridge, Delhi, 23/01/2005. By Shashanka.

licchvi_dadri.jpg

Maddening crowd for the Muzzafarpur bound Licchavi Exp. at Dadri. The guy with the big black suitcase couldn't get into the coach and walked away dejected, Who ever said there are way too many trains from Delhi to Bihar?

Looks like IRFCA members aren't the only ones who want to footplate! These chaps were eager to get on.. but were turned down. Dadri, 2005/01/26. By Bharath M.

The station board provides an interesting foreground to a lonely WAG-7. The loco had just backed a container freight into the ICD whose lights are visible in the background. 2005/01/26. By Shanx.

dadri_fog.jpg

Calm before the storm! Dadri station seems to care two hoots about the Howrah Rajdhani passing by at great speeds shortly!. Dadri, 2005/01/26. By Bharath M.

metro_livery.jpg

Apologies for the shaken image. Two DMRC rakes with different liveries stand next to each other. The one on the left is from the original batch of imports from Rotem while the blue faced one on the right is from BEML. Kashmere Gate, Jan 2005. By Bharath M

nrm_wdm1.jpg

WDM-1 #17000 minus the headlamps. Very badly maintained with paint peeling away and cobwebs near the buffers!. NRM, Delhi, 2005/01/27. By Bharath M.

ycg1_nrm.jpg

What's the real number? Shoddy paint job on YCG-1 21900 reveals just how much the curators know about IR and its locomotives. NRM, Delhi, 2005/01/27. By Bharath M.

dodge_railcar_nrm.jpg

The Dodge rail car - one of funniest looking vehicles I've ever seen on rails! This one was in service on the Neral - Matheran Light Railway. NRM, Delhi, 2005/01/27. By Shanx.

dodge_nrm_under.jpg

The 'bogie'(?) of the Dodge railcar. Can someone else fill up the caption? I am not aware of the finer details!. NRM, Delhi, 2005/01/27. By Shanx.

ng_rescue_nrm.jpg

NG Accident Relief Vehicle from the Kalka-Shimla railway. One wonders just how much relief this can carry!. NRM, Delhi, 2005/01/27. By Shanx.

inside_garrat_nrm.jpg

Another case of woeful maintenance. This BG Garratt's looks like it's been bombed and the cobwebs were everywhere!. NRM, Delhi, 2005/01/27. By Shanx.

psm_nrm.jpg

The PSMT display. Another case of shoddy maintenance - oil was leaking all over the place(notice the can of WD-40) and a garbage can(removed by us before photographing) was placed right between the buffers. NRM, Delhi, 2005/01/27. By Bharath M.

henschel_nrm.jpg

Looking more like a Soviet era ICBM than a steam locomotive! This zanily painted Henschell's is unique - a steam loco sans fire. Take a look at the next pic for more.. NRM, Delhi, 2005/01/27. By Shanx.
