Wagons

This is the coal that keeps the railway side slums warm in winter! The leftover coal in the returning wagons is gleefully ‘offloaded’ by the slum dwellers to light their winter fires. Nagpur, October 2003. By Alok Patel.

Another view of the strange wagon. This is an old wagon whose roof and side walls have been cut as shown. This is used to transport axles - the axle is placed by a crane into the wagon through the opening, on to a track inside the wagon, and is then rolle

Another BOXN High Speed wagon at Nagpur. Not the red and white stripes on the wagon to identify it as a high speed BOXN. These are increasing in number steadily in this section and seem to be generally owned by SER and ER. Photo by Alok Patel, Jul 2003

BOXN HS (100 kph) wagon from the same rake as the previous pic but with another distinctive style. I do not know why they did not use the red stripes here. The wagon looks as if it has been upgraded and is not a brand new wagon. So maybe this is the liver

The new BCNA High Speed (BCNAHS) wagons with a Top speed rated at 100 kmph. The stripes seem to provide the easy visual identification of their special status. The bogies etc. seem to be pretty much the same. Guess everything was just beefed up a bit. Suc
