@ Srini - You are right, it was an African "White" mamba going in for the kill. The speed was very impressive indeed. This was taken from the RoB and the Dippy was so furious that it was a damn scary experience :)

@ Ramdev, Ujjwal - Thanks!

By looking at the amount of smoke coming out it seems that the train was moving at a good speed.

Pawan - A fantastic picture. And, a very descriptive caption too.

But, was the Dippy coming in at a slow speed to describe it as "slithering into Makalidurg" ?? Or, did it come at you at great speed to describe it as an "African black...

It seems that this station master is at MKL on a full-time basis since I see this SM in most of the pictures and even in one picture which I shot while on-board the Rajkot- Coimbatore Express.
A good shot though.
