The loco for the 'Shakuntala Express' between Murtijapur and Yavatmal. A ZDM5 515 has just reversed and is ready for its journey back to Murtijapur. Yavatmal, September 2002. By Alok Patel.

Yet another look at the Shakuntala with its ZDM5 515. The loco is maintained at a shed in Murtijapur. Heavy maintenance probably is done either at Parel (Mumbai) or Motibagh (Nagpur) workshops. Yavatmal, September 2002. By Alok Patel.
