Dear Pranjal, The speed was around 20km/hr.Thanks for your nice and inspiring comments.

Sandeep, very often catenary is laid out only upto to the point where the electric loco comes to pick up its rake - not beyond that. Bombay Central washing lines have a similar arrangement. Also, if you look at this photo closely, the overhangs from the tress prevent any catenary structures from being erected - unless of course they cut them down - which thankfully they havent done!

Its no progress at all. ts disastrous and a rather hilarious piece of engineering. Look what they proposed www.dlm.ag .

Yours

Andreas

how can u be so sure just by looking at the miniscule opening that too in a pic!!!

Hey im plannin to settle in pune cos enough of US well with views this good i cant wait

Im a proud CR railways fan!!!

That is a real good find! I didn't notice that at all either. Maybe the locos were shunted from the front.

Yes Sriram. The red one is used o equalise the MRs of all the MUd locos. As you know all the MRs in a loco are connected in series. Hence a single pipe is enough to equalise the MRs of all the MUd locos. The other one is BRAKE CYLINDER EQUALISING PIPE.

Fantastic scene

Hello Apurva, thanks for the information. I was not aware of these facts. Now i am ! :-) That was the first time and the only time that I have travelled on the Konkan railway.
