Great shot Ashish! Flag exchange is certainly one of the best things to see on IR!

@Sriram....if that were the case then they'd have to inform each and every station about each and every freight train's length. Don't think railways have automated means of doing that as yet.

Great action shot! Thats the way freights should be run on IR!

Passenger trains have no option but to wait in a loopline if the freight rake is too long to fit in a small loopline... but not very sure if this is the exact reason.
