Flotsam & Jetsam

Over the years I have amassed dozens of miscellaneous photographs that for one reason or another have never been uploaded to the irfca gallery. They were usually captured on short trips (which I didn't bother reporting) or on random encounters with IR or are discards from other uploaded albums.

So this is a collection of the "best of the rest." I have tried to group all the images under several different "themes" such as Animals, Steam, Architecture, IR workers, Passengers, Railmen, odd scenes, obscure stations, etc. etc. A small number of images may be similar to those uploaded by some of my companions on various trips (so they may look familiar), but none are exactly the same.

Agra Fort

Jamuna Bridge from Agra Fort

UHP-Katra Bridge

This nondescript bridge between Udhampur & Katra is one of the highest in India, if not the highest. I'm sentimental about it because I photographed it in it's infancy here and here. No trains yet because of a problematic tunnel.

Priceless. Some of the best and rarest images of IR, all in one place. Hats off, Mohan.

When I first saw the title, I thought hmmm... how about "Dregs and Dross"? :-) Jokes aside, this is an excellent album which has a lot more worth than many of the pictures that we see even in the First Class.

This one single album is worth 50 others in the Gallery. An amazing collection of otherwise ignored sights, a treat for sore eyes and a masterclass for other railfans. Hope this inspires others to look beyond what runs on the rails and look at what's...
