The 6529 is the Mumbai - Bangalore Udyam Express. So this train was southbound out of Mumbai. The time is around 10.30 hrs.

John is a writer by profession - and it shows.

What is the passenger train behind the goods train? Its coaches look really clean.

This train has been introduced recently instead of the Shatabdi express keeping the same slots.

Apoorva, is this a new train? When does it leave PA and gets back?

We climbed the catch siding first and then the rest of the mountain - not very tough but slippery in parts.

Hey apurva kharad if you guys get a chance do post the pic for MHOW to KHANDWA metre gauge line MHOW is near indore in MP i got a chance to vist that place last time i was in india its a one helluva scene there

aww well thast too bad for these loco drivers who will even talk to these guys otherwise if its not for a small group of Rail fans.. typical mentality of trying to impose their power on innocent bystanders like us who just want a pic thats all! hey u guys next time im in India will love to meet you all this time i used to think i wish there were others who love trains as i used to discuss this with others just to be laughed at but i told them there are people who love trains and wait till we all are together ;-)

6012 must be the Chennai-Mumbai exp, rather than Chennai-Dadar exp which has number 1064 and arrives at Pune at 2:15 am.

Wonderful slide...especially the hill,the tunnel with the catenary wire...and of course the WCG 2 coming out of the right tunnel...typical Western Ghat photograph !
