Interesting pic and video. Look at the BOXN on the ramp in the background. Maybe they brought coal. Any idea what the art in the smoke deflector meant? Was it logo of some steam shed? The driver of this YP seems to be scaring off the lady!

Another classic shot! Brings back fond memories of my first encounter with this train at Varanasi station (1978, I think). At the time, it used to run between Gorakhpur and Varanasi, and all coaches had the cream-blue livery. Later on, it got extended to Allahabad City.

Unlike many other plinthed locos that are in a totally sad state, this one is well kept

This maybe the only station where station master comes out to help you take pics!! I have seen railway men and women come out and help people take snaps

Beautiful perspective...But for the board in the top corner, the pic is great!
