Undoubtedly one of the best shots from Shindawane. Very well done. I can see 2 other guys on the other side of the viaduct. Let's have their photographs from the other side too!
Incidentally, I have been wanting to get this exact shot since a year...

Lovely image and nice fresh stuff from Shindawane Ashwin. You have promoted WDP4 in the right way.

Excellent capture!!KSK is almost regular now with WDP4,the WDM3A were being used because some WDP4's got transferred to SGUJ and about 10 locos are going to MAS for Pandian and company,eventually KSK lost it's usual WDP4 link!!

Excellent Capture! Nice to see the YPR-KSK get back WDP-4.

Karan, the KSK via Pune when intitially started had a WDP4 link. Then for some unknown reason, the link changed to a WDM3A, an an occasional WDG3A as well. Its back with a WDP4 now.

@ Karan Karnataka Samparkranti Express , now a days is usually with WDP4 but sometimes it does get KJM WDM3a. WDP4 with such a huge tonnage of train struggles to climb up the ghats but with KJM WDM3a it is an effortless pull.

Karnataka Sampark Kranti with WDP-4!! When did this happen?

Good show! This is of course Pune's own Shindawane ghat, that is one of the many ghats in the Sahyadri mountains.
