My guess is that the BOXNs in question are not empty. I think there are iron ore movements from somewhere up from Kulem (forget the name of the place) that go over the ghats and these BOXNs are laden with that. Such wagons look like they are empty since...

My guess is that the BOXNs in question are not empty. I think there are iron ore movements from somewhere up from Kulem (forget the name of the place) that go over the ghats and these BOXNs are laden with that. Such wagons look like they are empty since the weight of the ore does not allow complete filling of the wagons. That may be the case they are covered though I really don't think it makes much of a difference where iron ore is concerned. And for all that I've said, these may well be some other dense material. The other BOXN seems to be laden with coal since that will permit piled-high loading. Great snap anyway!

The set of cabooses in the side looks cool...For up briganza ghats don't WDG4 itself suits more than WDG3As?? So why do they change the power house from this point?

Superb Photo. Really like the angle of the BCNA rakes coming towards the Kulem siding.
