WCG-1 and WCG-2

Deja Vu: One of the "objectives" of my today's Monkey Hill trip was this- getting a shot resembling as closely as possible to the photo corresponding to May 2008 on the IRFCA Calender by Shanx which was given during CNB 2008. Unfortunately there

Dont Try This At Home: See how dangerously these locals travel "bankerplating" on the buffer beams of WCG2s. Location is Monkey Hill.
