While traveling from Mumbai to Pune on the 2123 Deccan Queen, IRFCA members spotted three narrow gauge locos on flat cars at Diva. Uniquely, one of the locos had a dual cab. Here are some pictures and a video(47 Mb, shot by Roopesh Kohad) from the 2123. The other images are from Igatpuri where our friends from the railways chased the locos and returned with detailed images. The locos are: ZDM4A # 198 (named as Chatrapati - homing shed unknown), ZDM3 # 701 (Dual cab of Kalka shed) and ZDM5 # 513 (Dhaulpur shed). Pictures shot on 4th and 5th of October 2008 at Diva and Igatpuri.

Another picture of the dual cab NG loco # 501 spotted at Diva Jn on 4th Oct 2008. As this is most probably 2" gauge loco, it must be for either the Neral-Matheran line or the Darjeeling Railway. Picture by Roopesh Kohad. (Roopesh)
