16669 is now with KJM. Don't know where it was at the time of this incident. Probably ED. But is this loco really off the track? Or has it brought in the steam crane?

Dear Anil, I have no idea. Island express derailed in 1987 and this is defenitely not this train. The loco number is 16669, made sometimes in middle of 1990's. Shall get back to you soon if I can find a clue...

i think this picture is of the time the Trivandrum-bound Quilon Express had derailed and fallen into the river below.
