Why the signal is still amber when the entire train has passed? or is that signal not meant for 1019?

Great image. Agree with you that diesels rule silent locations with their honking,smoking and chugging sounds too.

The blood and body of IR.

@Pawan- Did you see UP Deccan Express 1008?
As DOWN Deccan 1007 was hauled by WCAM-3

Effect of gradient is much felt here in this cropped pic.

Yes Hrishikesh, actually we had lots of discussion on these both trains Ahimsa and Pune-Indore.
So, it was a confusion for me.

Abhishek, no official confirmation of WCG2's getting scrapped. LP's have made a demand for a WCAM3 for the 1007/1008 for the sake of schedule upkeep!! WCAM3 will now be a regular even on the Deccan Express, especially 1008. 1007 may still toggle between a WCG2 and a WCAM3, but preference to WCAM3 will be there for the train henceforth.

Always nice to see a loco carrying the name board of its train. It gives that 'special' feeling to a railfan like me!

Good work... Nice pics indeed!

There's lot of fluctuation except, DQ, Pragati & Intercity Express. Kanyakumari Exp. is another example of a fluctuating link between WCG 2 and WCAM 3.
@ Jatin - If that is the case, it seems few more WCG 2 units have been scrapped. The last time I saw Deccan Express with WCG 2 was on 1st Jan 2009 in Up Direction.
@ Pawan, if you could have provided a pic, this would have been a raremost spotting.
