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.

ZDM5_Yavatmal2.jpg

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.

603_G.jpg

Compared to the steam beauty, the NDM6 #602 looks like a desert cooler as it brings in an uphill service from Neral. Matheran, 12/2/05. By Shashanka.

602_G.jpg

The Suri & Nayar built NDM6 are the standard workhorses on this line along with 2 examples of the NDM1 articulated loco which earlier did duty on the Kalka - Simla Railway. Here #602 is taking charge of an early evening downhill service. Matheran, 12/

600_G_001.jpg

This could easily be Marvin the Martian's ride but its actually an NDM6 !! #600 from Neral shed backs up to take charge of a downhill train. For some strange reason, all NDM6s now reverse at both ends and run long hood forward always on the MLR. Matheran,
