On the way to Shindawane, our 1609A passenger waits for a crossing at Alandi with this pair of WDG 3As. At last, I get a picture showing the actual moment of connection - of the ball token being picked up. This is ironic, as the Niele's ball token would be discontinued in this section soon with the introduction of the "token-less" panel interlocking and colour light signals. The locomotives are KJM shed's WDG 3A # 13031 with 13267 at Alandi (ALN) on the Pune - Miraj route. Our own train, the 1609A passenger is in the background.
