Expedition to the Shiradi Ghats

During the Christmas 2008, four IRFCAians set out on an expedition to the beautiful Shiradi Ghats. As usual, IR offered its finest rail journey experience and we quenched it to the maximum we can... All pictures taken with prior permission from concerned authorities.

Pictures by Gowri Sankar, Anantha Narayanan (Gowri's friend and newbie Railfan). Image processing by PoochiVenkat. Trip organized and coorindated by Srinivas S (SBC).

Once the WDM cleared the points to couple to the Mangalore passenger, the WDG4 pair headed BOXN was allowed into the station.

A common sight on the platform.. The two small railfans there waved to the LPs and to the passengers as the train exited towards Mangalore.
