The BRC WAP4 22561 that hauled us right from NZM taking a breather at BZA. Notice the LV board disengaged from its closed position. No efforts were made to put it back in closed position by Loco pilots either at BPQ or at BZA! 2007-3-12 Sridhar Joshi.
GPS based information board shining brightly...it says Nizamuddin se aage nahi jaayegi.....
Weaving our way in bright morning sunshine somewhere before Gudur.
The end of the 3A coach. Berths 73-75, almost a private cabin. Each of the berths has a bottle holder and a magazine holder. Each bay, whether the side or the inner ones has a charging socket. Also notice an extra step below the upper berth.
A view of the gangway, with some of our gang. From the foreground - Krishnakumar, Giri and Vimalakar.
Inside the Power Car control area....an array of lights, lights up our start, just after MAS.
The XL toilet cum bath area of the Power Car - to keep the Electrical and the A/C staff fresh through the round trip. Notice the diagonal entry with twin hinged doors.

The beginning or the end, depending where you are going....the EOG of the GR, combined with the space for the Disabled.
