It's really exciting to see AC OHE at Varanasi. Have been dreaming about this for years.

A picture postcard for the Indian Railways.
The only thing the picture is missing is a stray dog.
It has the tree, a cycle, some people, an Alco led train approaching, a platform, a dog would be the next best fit into this picture.

Good one....one of the west bound train from BSB which actually heads eastwards for a few kilometers.

Beautiful!

Apu sir, you are right. This looks like a proper high level platform where one can directly get into the coach without requiring to "climb" any steps. There are/were "high level" platforms at Dabhoi but they were of medium height as far as I remember i.e. not ground level but not exactly door level.

Bharat - I was told by the station master of Chhindwara about the special platform. Maybe he was not aware of the NG elsewhere, maybe this is the tallest 'high level' platform while others are somewhat below this...

If the guys at ED see this loco, they might want to take it to add to their "Fancy Number" collection! :D

@Apurva - not entirely true. I know a few others that did/do - Dabhoi and Pratapnagar to name a few.
