Good lighting effects. Composition could have been improved. The pole seems to grow out of the mans head, which is a 'photo-spoiler' as the rest of the pic is really good.

Lovely picture. At,Akkalkot Road for the first time I had spotted a Black Beauty in 1989. It's a lovely station too. Thanks for the refreshing those memories.

Karan, yeah Raj had messaged me and the words he used were enough for me to visualise this precious moment. Lets wait and watch his video of the same! Thanks a million for sharing this pic.

Ranjeet, this was indeed the most amazing crossing in the entire trip. The train was descending a gradient and the straight tracks ahead showed three greens; so the train blasted past us at its MPS!
By the way, the first loco was in new ET livery...

This is exactly the visual effect of Raj Bhavsar's SMS to me about this crossing!

Very nice!

Colin, this is not from my cellphone but since it was early morning and I kept fast shutter speed to avoid motion blur of train moving at 100kmph, the pic came very dark and trying to add a little light to it has affected the quality a bit.
