After an unscheduled halt and a great deal of effort from the bankers, the rake finally gets moving with a spectacular display of dust, smoke and raw power! 2007-09-16, Bizzy Mishra.

Can you feel it? I can feel it coming even now! 2007-09-16, Bizzy Mishra.

The three monsters banking the rake literally baked us inside the tunnel with their heat waves! 2007-09-16, Bizzy Mishra.

The monsters finally disappear into a cloud of steam, dust and smoke...water falling from the top of the tunnels can be seen here. 2007-09-16, Bizzy Mishra.

The WDG-4's powering a coal rake are fuming for all their worth as they wind up on this slow rollercoaster of a ride up the ghats. 16th Sep 2007, Colin Peter.
