Comment No. 36. :-) This photo reminds me of a photo of KYN WDG3A at the helm of Latur express taken by Ranjeet Ramasawmy at Ghatkopar sometime back.

I agree with Abhinjan. This is as good as the Jumbo pic. Really fantastic shot. Icing on the cake being my favourite loco class captured. To be frank, I won't dare to take out my camera in such heavy rain.

Few days back, Deepak Murali blew half of my brain off with a diesel+ monsoon combo, now Arzan blows the other half off with an electric+monsoon combo. Wonderful stuff

Anant, I didn't take a video of this. I have taken video of Sayaji Nagri express on that day but it wasn't raining that heavily. I have already uploaded it on Youtube.

Arzan, Have you taken video as well? This scene reminds of one of your videos (on vimeo) of a CONRAJ passing through some station in heavy downpour.

Wonderful!!!!!!!

Dear Milind, it would have been wonderful but the whole day, it rained heavily for 10 minutes only. Rest of the day it was overcast and sunny on a few occassions.
Posted by Arzan Kotval on 2010 Aug 26 17:20:20 +0100
Please upload the videos asap....i am sure those would make it more enjoyable with the noise etc.....

Many many thanks for the encouraging words/comments. I was standing well below the roof/asbetos of the railway station. I did not get wet at all and my camera was all fine. 15 more videos were taken after capturing this train.

Well taken !!!
