Heading down towards the tracks, we encounter an uphill BCN/A freight assisted by a trio if WCG2 locos. 20134 brings up the rear with flags being waved out of both the cabs.

The Khalasi at Monkey Hill cabin, gives the all clear flag to the Pune bound Intercity, headed by a WCAM3. These locos are now found only on select trains on the Bhore Ghat.
