Two Pune WDM-2s shunt the Goa Exp. The loco on the left shows the new bogie-mounted sandboxes; the right loco has the older hood-mounted sandboxes (not visible). However, the loco on the left still has the open port in the hood for filling sand in the old-style sandboxes! Probably a local (Pune shed) modification. Photo by Apurva Bahadur, 2003.
