Marching to CNB 2008

On 31/01/2008, two mad railfans of Kolkata, Shubhabrata and Saurab went on a 5128 Kms Circular journey to reach the grand meet at CNB 2008. We covered Neral, Pratapnagar, Ahmedabad, Gwalior and of course, Kanpur with the surrounding routes. All the photographs are shot with official permission from the respective authorities.
