A ride of a life time! For the next 20min we were treated to the most amazing sounds and smoke from the Alco. For those of who are interested, the train is the 2RD pass from Delhi to Rewari and loco is a Sabarmati YDM4. Jan 2005. By Shanx.
Quite the funniest station name I have ever encountered in my life. I wish we had recorded the locals pronounce the name - Haryanvi twang at its best!. On the Rewari-Delhi line, Jan 2005. By Bharath Moro.
An early morning foggy scene at Delhi Cantt station. An unknown passenger train is just departing after taking on even more load. Not surprisingly there are no pax on the roof - it was a cold 9 deg celsius that morning!. Delhi Cantt, Jan 2005. By Bharath
WDM-2 #17193 from Ludhiana leads the morning milk passngr into Delhi. Surprisingly LDH locos were in full force on the Delhi-Rewari line instead of the usual Abu Road ones. Shahbad(Delhi), Jan 2005. By Shanx.
Surprise! A modified WAP-4 (originally P6) #22410 from HWH brings the Delhi-Howrah Janta Exp to a halt at Dadri. I think this is the first clear/closeup pic of a loco in the 224xx range on the server. Dadri, 2005/01/26. By Shanx.
Mughalsarai WAM-4 #21325 at the helm of the Jan Sadharan Express to Patna. Dadri, 26/01/05. By Shashanka.
WAP-4 #22582 belonging to NCR's Kanpur shed coasts to a halt with the Muzaffarpur bound Lichhavi Express. Despite my initial comments, I think top headlamp WAP4s are perhaps the smartest looking locos on IR. Dadri, 26/01/2005. By Shashanka.
An Ajni based WAG-7 #27108 hauls an empty BOXN rake via the Ring Railway which is also called the Goods Avoiding Line (GAL) which serves as a bypass for New Delhi station. Sarojini Nagar, Delhi, 01/05. By Shashanka.

A TKD WDP-1 #15024 lies 'dead' at Safdarjung. This guy was involved in a bang up with a WDS-4 a few days ago. Note the missing buffer and smashed coupler. Safdarjung, Jan 2005. By Shanx.
Another view of the same WDP-1. The loco was leaking oil even 72 hrs after the accident!. Safdarjung, Jan 2005. By Shanx.
Yet another shot of the loco - this time from the other side. Notice how the front bogie has been bent by about 10deg. Luckily for the crew the damage was on the long hood. Safdarjung, Jan 2005. By Shanx.
Finished in the now ubiqutous green/cream 'Delhi CNG' livery the newly converted CNG DMU is hauled out of Safdarjung by a bright WDS-4. Safdarjung, Jan 2005. By Shanx.
History wall! This display at the NRM showcases various number/builder plates from around the world. My favourite - the 'Beyer-Peacock' plate on the extreme top-left. NRM, Delhi, Jan 2005. By Bharath Moro.
