The dome is because of the AC vent and not due to the compressor. The compressor comes at the ends in an enclosure called RMPU(roof mounted Packaged Unit).

There is no Bilaspur-Durg Intercity express on the route. Being electrified it runs with Bhilai shed WAM engine. The photo shown may be perhaps the Korba-VSKP Link Express or some passenger (VSKP-DURG/ R-VSKP Passenger). The photo is taken on R-TIG Branch line.

awsome pic,,stirs the soul

This photograph has been developed with the negative flipped 180 degrees.

Fantastic picture. Wonder why this one did not get any gold/silver/honorable mention award.

Awesome!

Sunny, is the Karanja railway station on this line??

Very right. In many countries like Kenya, Sudan & Tanzania some steamers are also owned by Railways.

As usual it is a independant Railbus system. One can see two hose pipes, normally one for Air & one for Vacum brakes. Most proberbly has a 400 to 700 HP engine. One thing for sure it is very independant and has never been attached to any type of a Train or Locomtive because the BUFFERS are clean fresh and the paint has not worn off.
