its the bct-st ie bombay central - surat Flying Ranee commencing its daily evening run from bombay to diamond city surat . the highrises in background are part of bombay Central's posh surroundings. the train is joining the up fast line from bct lines.

Noticed the headlight change (livery chage as well), in the picture taken in 2000 at Madras it is showing single beam headlight and in this photo it has a double beam headlight. Same holds true for WAP4 # 22217 (in the two photos mentioned in above comment) as well.

It is so annoying to see the livery switched generator cars of shatabdis and rajdhanis.

I got nailed by a cop for doing the same thing while capturing the haridwar ganganagar express in patiala, punjab.

i was standing abt 5-7 feet away from the point on the loop line . the driver was pointing to get off the line, in case of a fault with the point

Can you write more about this steam engine 'race'?

What is the driver indicating to you vicky?

Sole engines , especially the shunters make a nice subject to shoot. Loved the pic.

Guys, that really IS Shanky. I myself, didn't recognise him at the station until he almost bumped into me!! And that expression on his face .... ;-))
