Ah! The Charm of Twin Diesels: Twin WDG-3a's led by #13244 from Gooty (GY) haul a loaded BOXN rake from Guntakal Jn. towards Dhone Jn. I love this livery of the Shakti very much. The solid cow catcher too adds up to the beauty. Date - 2007-07-08. (Naveen.M)

The snap has been taken from the same location where 13 mad men were mesmerised by a smoking GY WDM-3A incharge of the MYS-JP express one fine September evening!

@ Apurva "the mineral in the BOXN may be limestone whose low density allows the wagon to be filled up to the brim." It can also be gypsum or rock phosphate, both of them have low density :-). The latter can appear grey, yellow or brown.

Oops: sorry. Appu is right. It must be Limestone.

@Alok: The load was Sand. The 10th and 11th Wagons were not filled as they were badly damaged.

Undoubtedly charming and more so without all the clutter coming from catenaries!
