The legendary 2860 Howrah Mumbai Cst Gitanjali Express passes through a sharp curve near Padli station in the fading evening light. The loco in charge is the SRC WAP-4# 22329 and the livery just looks great. This location is exactly 156kms from Mumbai Cst and 18kms from Igatpuri station. (Arzan Kotval)

Anant, this was my third visit to IGP loco shed in 2 years. I rate this as the best as I got to see GZB WAP7, KJM WDP4, 2 BSL WAM4's, 1 ET WAM4, WAP4's in different liveries and also clean WAP1's. Images to come shortly. Myself, Tushar Dhake & Pritam...

Arzan,if your talking of PSR 75kmph after Padli station towards NK,then that must be a temporary SR...the on approach PSR for Padli station on both direction is 85kmph.

Sachin Bhai, the PSR is still 75kph for trains going towards Nasik Road as I saw all trains doing the same plus I also saw a board of 75kph just as you walk through the sharp curve of Padli.

Thanks Sachin Bhai. I saw 17 coach 4314 Bareilly Ltt Exp doing 90kph with LGD WAP4# 22213 as it's power and it did the same speed till the last coach went away from us.

Arzanji,the PSR before Padli station is 90kmph whereas at Padli station is 85kmph.

Thanks everyone. Jattin, this location is half a km from Padli stn towards Nasik Road. The train was easily doing 90kph and after the 12th coach passed us, it was slowing down to 75kph since Padli has a PSR of 75kph. It was running 15 minutes before time.

Nice to see the Hindi lettering on the loco. Now finally I know how exactly to pronounce SRC's full name!
