My first spotting of a jumbo! Pune WDM-2 #17849 pulls into Pf-5 of Panvel with 2288 Dehradun-Kochuveli Superfast Express. The train had 13 coaches(6 GS, 2 SLR, 4 SL and 1 3rd AC). The A.C coach was 90% occupied where as SLs were 60% occupied and GS were 10% occupied! (Ranjeet Ramaswamy Iyer)

Nice rare picture of a Jumbo with an express train at Panvel. Jimmy Bhai, two weeks back while returning home by 2052 Jan Shatabdi, I spotted ERS Jumbo# 17859 with Sawantwadi Diva Passenger at Diva.

This is a special spotting indeed. Jumbos cannot be fitted with ACD. And locos without ACD are not allowed on KR. So, Jumbos are officially banned from KR. Then how did this fellow land up here? Great spotting indeed
