The line from Jasai to JNPT is double line non electrified. This short distance is covered under diesel power. A Shakti leads a container rake past the IOC depot towards JNPT. Location on google earth 18°54'42.58"N 73° 0'30.32"E
The container rake disappears into the sunset even as a flock of birds take flight. The Dronagiri hill looms in the background. The ROB in the background connects to JNPT.
The JNPT container yard forms the backdrop as a Shakti chughs along towards the port.
