Early morning at Bhandak on the 2721 Dakshin Exp. Sunrises and sunsets are probably the only time I don't resent catenaries!
VSP all engrossed as we approach Sewagram. He was glued to the seat for almost all the way from BPQ to NGP :-)
The Big Bend - WAP-4 # 22511 from LGD shines brightly in morning light as it leads the Dakshin into Sewagram.
The Motibaugh NG museum probably would never have seen so many cameras clicking together! Railfans Sachin and Bharath gear up with their cams against the backdrop of the entry to the museum. The toy train tracks welcome you with a mock level crossing gate
The toy train welcomes the tourists at the entry of the NG museum. Dr Akash Bang
Two NG coaches rest proudly on the turn-table in the museum. Probably the only turn table without any tracks leading to it! The guide informed they were brought there with cranes! Dr Akash Bang
CC class #677 at the entrance to the Motibagh Museum.
Railfan Ravi Sundarrajan peeking proudly out of the CC Class # 677 loco displayed at the museum. Dr Akash Bang
Another view of the same loco.
The Main building of the NG museum looks as a small replica of a smalltime NG station with a track laid down in its bang middle. This NG inspection trolley is a prized possession! Dr Akash Bang
This NG 1st class Saloon coach is one of the other prized possessions displayed inside the main building. Note the small water cooler jutting out of the window! My my! Real luxory, one must say! Dr Akash Bang
The side view of the 1st class NG saloon. This is the coach which was clicked from inside ny Bharath in the next pic. Dr Akash Bang
Inside the Museum: Luxury beckons the occupiers of this saloon.
Railfans Dilip (Left) and VSP (Right) in the Heritage area of the NG museum. Dilip lifts the "foldable Wash basin". The water is supposed to drain automatically every time the basin is folded. Sorry for slight blurr. Dr Akash Bang
Inside the Museum: Scale model of a ZE. These Kawasaki built units are my favourite steam loco class.
