YDM-4 #6215 arrived while I was looking at #6359 & #6502. The shot was perfect but the developing person did some bad developing. Nasirabad, 2003-10-05. By Vicky.
YDM-4 #6363 went and attached itself to the empty goods rake seen in the first pic from NSD. Nasirabad, 2003-10-05. By Vicky.
Another surprise. YDM-4 #6416 was waiting at the other end of the goods rake!!!!. Nasirabad, 2003-10-05. By Vicky.
I was checking out #6416 when suddenly, smoking vigorously, YDM-4 #6313 in a striking livery arrived with the Purna-Ajmer pass. Nasirabad, 2003-10-05. By Vicky.
What else can a railfan hope for??with all the lines occupied, I had to go at least a 100 feet away to get all the loco's in frame. Nasirabad, 2003-10-05. By Vicky.
YDM-4 #6313 departed, and that finished me off for the day. Nasirabad, 2003-10-05. By Vicky.

Moving back,I was just in time to see the loco being attached to the Shatabdi.It was pretty clean looking (although u cant see it in the scan) WDM-2 #17901. Ajmer, 2004-06-13. By Vicky.
There was still time for the departure of the Shatabdi so I decided to move to the coach shed. There I saw this DMU unit packed between the coaches. it was there for some repair work. Ajmer, 2004-06-13. By Vicky.
At the helm,shunting the above mentioned coaches was another WDM-2 supporting an unusual livery,again from ABR, but this time 18424. Ajmer, 2004-06-13. By Vicky.

It was time for the departure of the Shatabdi so I headed back. Here we have a view of the whole Shatabdi on the curve outside Ajmer station.since the EOG as Shatabdi liveried,I guess they had to have a Raj liveried loco. Ajmer, 2004-06-13. By Vicky.
