Twin Bokaro Steel City (BKSC) WDM-2's, 18656 and 17760, back up a rake of coal into the Singapur Road station yard. The lead loco looks to have been recently transferred from Kharagpur (KGP). (Bharath)
The signals were used to guide MG trains from VM to TBM. Now they have turned to other side to avoid confusion to BG loco pilots (Ramesh)
