DMRC
A.K.A - Delhi Metro Rail
Delhi Metro was inaugurated in December, 2002. Unfortunately I was not there to enjoy it, but my younger brother, Ashwin, did a great job of covering the metro thoroughly. He went to the Shastri Park Depot, the stabling house of the metro and got up close and personal with the metro. Enjoy the pics, and you will see what I mean. :-))))

A view of a metro trainset, from inside
another one.
Three trainsets wait side by side, undergoing inspections and checks at the
Shastri Park Depot.
A shaky shot of the trainset No.4.
A not-so-shaky shot of Trainset No.4. These trains really resemble to
their counterparts overseas.
A shot displaying the interior of the metro. Notice that the repairs and work
is still going on. Also, its the only time its gonna be so
clean inside, because I doubt it's gonna be this clean once it goes into service.
A view of the cab interior of the metro. This is the lever that open up the
emergency door, in front of the metro.
A view of the door opening mechanism inside the metro. Also, notice the warning
on the door warning passengers about the gap
between the train and the platform.
A hazy shot of a Mercedes truck being used by DMRC people to check the rails.
The truck is equipped with wheels to run on rails.
A pic showing the back panel in the cab of the metro.
A pic showing the cab and the controls of the metro. It seems like the
controls are pretty easy.:))
