Good Capture ! Wish I would've been there to witness all this. One more thing I pointed out that rake of 2142 cant be so short ;-) Anyways a good attempt to stich the pictures. Perfect stiching of pictures having electric poles and wires is always difficult.

Karan - 1stly, Thanks for your compliments. Secondly, I am not charged up, still on 1500V DC only ;-). Thirdly and honestly speaking, what you now have said is same as what you earlier tried to say. But this time, its really gentle and subtle. This is what I meant to point out to you. Yes I agree, there is an error in the pic, and is a fact and ofcourse cannot be denied. But as I said, there is a way to convey your opinion, especially when interacting in a forum like IRFCA. Pls excuse me, if I had sounded rude, no such intentions here. Take care.

Vijay, relax. No need to get so charged up. This photo is incorrectly stitched as is evident at the center and you like it or hate it, that's a fact. If both trains were indeed running exactly parallel as this photo makes out to be, the stitching would not have a discontinuity. I really appreciate all of you taking the pains to cover this event, I was just pointing out the error from a photography point of view. Please cool down.

Karan - I would like you to think twice before throwing words out. Time and again this has been observed in you.

First of all, Nobody here is interested in providing a fake picture representing any sort of "dramatic action" to anyone here and "Win Any Brownie Points" here from all people in the forum. I completely agree, bit more care could have been taken while photoshopping / stitching and then representing the picture. But I certainly feel your sentence "but photoshopped to give a false impression of dramatic 'parallel action'" is really discouraging and accusatory, especially when people have virtually drained themselves out in the scorching sun and dirtiest humid weather at 2:30pm; counting minutes and seconds, for the 1st ever train. Certainly there is better way to state your comments.

And to prove this to you and everyone, who is questioning Tushar's intentions of "producing a fake picture" - Let me clarify, I myself witnessed this. I also saw both of the trains moving...

Dear Vivek Thanks. There is no need to close 3rd 4th lines. The project is to construct 5th 6th lines right from Kalyan Jn to CSTm to segregate the Mail/Express/Freight traffic from 3rd 4th lines to 5th 6th lines, leaving 3rd-4th lines exclusively to operate Fast EMU services.

This image is not "fake" but photoshopped to give a false impression of dramatic "parallel action". Look at catenary poles and OHE wires around the center of the image, they disappear into thin air! If you are stitching two or more images into one photo, at least take care to maintain continuity.
