vow... that wap4 looks really neat unlike the usual lgd waps...

Vabby, in fact I counted the total no of passengers and it was a dissapointing 217. However, they were given a royal carpeted welcome supported by music and flowers. That was indeed a sight to watch !

Thanks. I was lucky to get this snap as I only spent 15 minutes at the station and wasn't expecting the (late-running) train. I suppose even a 1960s design engine is 'modern' compared to the mosque which must be hundreds of years old!
I use a Cosina SLR film camera, which I've had for over 10 years. Not a well-known make but it serves me very well.

Were the pillars designed to carry two line traffic ? Is it coorect that only one half is being used ?? The reason I am asking this is, There is a support in the far-right of the picture on which nothig rests. This is found clearly in the last three pillars.

Kharad, the Deccan Odyssey remains a dream....the Maharashtra Tourism folks seem to have committed a major blunder of developing this tourist train without performing in-depth market surveys for guaging the demand for such a service among tourists.....& they did not just stop there...they priced it ridiculously high. Needless to say, there were very few takers for this train. Look for drastic reductions to the ticket prices in the near future, if the train is to take off on its inaugural run.

The picture is spoilt because of the imposing pole on the left hand side and hence it gets demoted to picture gallery.

which loco does the Deccan Odessey get?

its got 2 cabooses

A majority (if not all) the WCAM1/2/2P's on the WR, badly need an overhaul. I wonder why the WR doesn't regularly overhaul these engines, unlike the CR, which regularly overhauls the WCAM3, WCAG1 and even the WCG2.

Infact clinging on the sides of the EMu or travelling on the rooftops or in-between the coaches is an offence, and the offender can be fined/punished if caught by the authorities.
