On 21st March, 6529 Udyan left Mumbai with the same loco. So the link goes like this: 6530(15th March)-0111(15th/16th)-0112(16th/17th)-1029(17th)-1030(18th)-0103(19th)-0104(20th)-6529(21st)!

Lovely shot, great colours! What's the MG train it just crossed?

The snap has been taken from the same location where 13 mad men were mesmerised by a smoking GY WDM-3A incharge of the MYS-JP express one fine September evening!

@ Apurva "the mineral in the BOXN may be limestone whose low density allows the wagon to be filled up to the brim." It can also be gypsum or rock phosphate, both of them have low density :-). The latter can appear grey, yellow or brown.

Oops: sorry. Appu is right. It must be Limestone.

@Alok: The load was Sand. The 10th and 11th Wagons were not filled as they were badly damaged.

WoW ! WCG-2s clearly are the Kings of the Bhore Ghats !

How I wish this section never becomes AC :-(

Undoubtedly charming and more so without all the clutter coming from catenaries!

Are you sure it is WDM-2. To me it looks like WDM-3A, as gathered from the lettering just about the right hand buffer.

Interesting emblem of TNP loco shed. A bird, perhaps suggesting a bird sanctuary nearby?
