Surprise!!! The enormous train is banked by twin bankers. WDM 2 16479 from Erode and WDS 6 36015 from Ernakulam. This really popped my eyes out. I have never seen WDS 6 + WDM 2 twins acting as twin bankers. Is this common? Both the locos had pilots

A baldie is loittering around the station and stops near the bankers. This is a nice sight. WDM 3A baldie, WDS 6 and WDM 2
