A board put up at the trolley repair shed. (Pawan Koppa)

A lone BOXN wagon is slowed down immediately from a fast pace as it was rolling down using the retarders. The dust near the front wheels is due toe application of the retarder. (Pawan Koppa)

The cabin from where we got a wonderful view of the entire MGS yard! (Pawan Koppa)

The controls inside the the yard cabin of MGS. The buttons on the panel on the left are to activate/deactivate the retarders which slow down rolling wagon/s during the humping process. (Pawan Koppa)

The LWRs are finally loaded onto this specially modified flatbed rake which has split holders as seen in the image into which LWRs are placed one over the other. (Pawan Koppa)

VSP just before getting his fingers burnt ;-) Well, luckily that didn't happen as the weld had already passed through a cooling phase by then! (Pawan Koppa)

The long welded rail passes through this long inspection chamber where workers inspect the welding. The movement of the rail to make it stop exactly where the workers are sitting is controlled by central operator who starts-stops the movement through

The welding on the rail is perfectly done as it comes out of the machine. (Pawan Koppa)
