Braganza Darshan
Gowri Sankar, PoochiVenkat and Ramdev Gowda were on an official trip to the formidable Braganza Ghats in October 2008. All photographs taken with permission from concerned authorities. Images shot by GS, PV and RG. Image processing by PV.
Day 2: The penta headed freight train at the falls.
The view from the Dudhsagar station towards Sonalium Station.
As Poochi and Gowri walk up the tracks, our predecessor finds walking on the single rail is easier and quicker!
The freight train we took, had a crossing with another freight train at Sonalium. Here is the leading loco of the uptrain on the ghat.
As tiny droplets of water fall from the tunnel, a roaring WDG4 12144 appears out of the tunnel.
WDG4 12144 pulls into Dudhsagar station.
Like a child that hides behind its mother, the Dudhsagar station board hides behind WDG4 12105.
A different perspective of the beast!
One is going up and the other is going down!
Green and Green go hand-in-hand!
The heavily loaded rake is pushed up the ghats.
Smoke and heat shake up the tunnel!
Heroes working to replace the sleepers give a pose as they see a camera focussing on them.
