A few more weeks, and the whole area will be carpeted in green.

Fantastic. This seems to be Ashwin's signature shot though, train on a bridge shot from a boat on the water.

excellent work!

@ Vivek :- Absolutely correct.
@ Jitendra sir :- This is a staff shuttle between Barkheda and Hoshangabad as all the railway staff working in the Budni ghats gets into this train which stops everywhere in the ghats and all the Bhopal bound staff gets down at Hoshangabad and catches any other train back to Bhopal from Hoshangabad.

Super framing and just perfect lighting!

Good capture! If I am not wrong this is a shot in between the two lines with the track towards Bhoapl on the left of the frame?

@ Doc: The timing in the EXIF is about 5 pm which is usually the returning time of railways staff to their homes. So might be that these railway staff find this train convenient!

Why do you call it the staff shuttle? Does it stop at all stations between Bhopal and Itarsi to allow the staff to embark and disembark?

Great Effort Ashwin....Lovely snap non-the-less.

Salute to you considering the amount of stink you have inhaled to take this pic!!!!!! ;) Awesome Stuff!!!
