Superb looking LGD WAP-7# 30260 magnificiently coming out of lush greenery with 24 coach long 12723 Hyderabad Decan New Delhi Andhra Pradesh Superfast Express at the Chichonda - Teegaon ghats on Nagpur - Itarsi line of Central Railway. The 24 coach superfast did not require bankers while climbing ghats because of the power of 6000hp WAP-7. Image taken with permission from Pro, Central Railway. (Arzan Kotval)

Really good shot with the gangmen being a part of the frame.
The Chichonda-Teegaon section is mostly about losing height and passenger trains have never been given bankers going down towards Teegaon. Goods trains though do get occasional bankers...

The Chichonda-Teegaon section is mostly about losing height and passenger trains have never been given bankers going down towards Teegaon. Goods trains though do get occasional bankers for the extra braking effort they need.
I also remember that there is a Speed-Sensor restriction on this track nearing Teegaon.
