Golden shot :)

Roni, many thanks for your spectacular photography. I am amazed at your persevarance in visiting such remote sites...earlier Rajasthan now Deccan....:)

Lovely scene!!

Roni, did you travel on the upper berth of this unreserved IIs carriage?!

Roni - Once again, enjoyed watching each of the photos and reading the captions. Multiple times. Can see that you had had a wonderful time.

Thanks for sharing. Any more albums coming now ??

There is a Larsen & Toubro Ltd, Construction Division Cement Products factory at Chitheri, Tamil Nadu at km 3.
- What do they make here? Pre-stressed concrete sleepers and bridge beams? Or possibly tunnel lining segments?
The loco is most likely to be a Ventra diesel hydraulic locomotive. However, L&T also operate a similar SAN model type DL-220BG-FD at their Jharsuguda Engineering Works, Orissa. You would need to read the manufacturer's specification plate located inside the driver's cabin to be able to make a positive identification and check the builder's Serial Number.

@Ramesh - (The unit at Dalmiapuram (Kallakkudi Palanganatham) where Dalmia cement factory is, should be a BHEL-built diesel electric shunter -Bo- with about 260kW, but we do not know the serial number.)

i spent around 3 hours here along with few other RF's from HYB. Gulabjamoons were delight at that time.

wow. YDM telling never underestimate us. even are hardcore smokers and chuggers like BG locos

Nice photograph! is it a offlink or now a regular practice to allot any TKD loco with Palace on Wheels? I have seen Palace with dedicated TKD Palace on Wheels loco painted in exact livery as the coaches.
