View of Pratapnagar station towards Chotta Udepur section

Some spare rakes at Pratapnagar. Look at the maze of NG lines

NG double line?? We are in the wrong line anyway!!

An old BG vehicle at the BG side of the station. Anybody know what is it? I know that it is lying unused for decades

Is this a tender of a steam loco? This is on the back side of the strange vehicle. I just can't make out what it is

Enterance to the NG disel shed. I asked the friendsly RPF man here permission and he ENCOURAGED me to take photos. He was saying that no terrorists will ever travel on this line! Only tourists

The complete view of the NG diesel shed. The shed houses 18 ZDM 5 locos, used all over Gujarat. Undoubtedly it is the cleanest shed I have ever seen. Like BG sheds, it is headed by a Sr. DME

ZDM 507 and 537 at the shed. Difference in agae brought difference in shape to the locos. 507 is built in 1990 and 537 in 1999

Long hood view of 507 and 537. Look at the roof of the locos

Pratapnagar shed also take care of some of the rakes. This side is dedicated to maintaining rakes

Another ZDM 5, no. 519 inside the shed

Some shed employees got excited and wanted me to click. Sure did I. Unlike employees of BG sheds, these guys were really nice and took so much time to explain things to me.

Back side of the shed

Can you believe this? Diesel if filled into the zDM 5 through a "Petrol Bunk" type dispenser. Max capacity of the loco is 500 lts

Inside the hood of the ZDM 5. The loco is not turbo charged. The inetriors are so clean compared to a WDM 2
