Really good shot with the gangmen being a part of the frame.
The Chichonda-Teegaon section is mostly about losing height and passenger trains have never been given bankers going down towards Teegaon. Goods trains though do get occasional bankers for the extra braking effort they need.
I also remember that there is a Speed-Sensor restriction on this track nearing Teegaon.

@Aseem, you are very right! My dad was posted at IAF base. For the first few months, we had to rent a place in the Railway Colony, while waiting our staff quarter to be allocated. Our rented "railway quarter" was very close to IZN steam shed.

@Shirish.... was it as Air Force base?

In 1970-71, I was living a km away from IZN, which only had MG steam locos then! What a change...
