The train & the curve is beautifull. It is like a pass. It is 2003 Nov now. In the olden days of Hollywood a perfect location to stage a holdup picturization. In Hindi Dari, Marathi Khindi.

Possible, but guard rails are only in the hilly section. It looks to me as if the train is approacing the hilly section and the shot is of the train lookin out behind.

Alok,
I think it is the curve just before Durk (after crossing the Seonath river while coming from Nagpur direction). If I remember correctly, the Darekesa - Dongargarh section was definately more hilly

From the gaurd rail and the tight turn I can tell that this is between Darekasa and Dongargarh on the Nagpur Durg section. The place has a ghat section which really looks great during the monsoons.

This is probably a dumb question, but why is this "a sight not to be seen again"? The Jnaneshwari is still running, isn't it? And Santragachi locos still have the blue livery.

The actual line is Achalpur - Murtazapur JN - Yavatmal. Maybee later on we will get Photos of Achalpur NG .

Signal Levers. When in use have to be properly Greased. Of cource now in disuse.
