As pointed by Karan, I too think RTM diesels with similar livery used to haul the BCT Raj some years back and it seems that this pic is atleast 3-4 yrs old!

It seems that Ratlam is the link for Goa SK.

Hey when was this photo taken? Recently or many years back? Because this is the famous erstwhile livery of Ratlam which was used specially for the locos which worked the Rajdhani!

Nice shot of the beast.

Great snap.

Ankit.. I'm assuming that you were safely away from the other track too and have used a massive zoom, since the signal is green!

Harsh that is not a lifting hole. Its used to haul locos incase they are unable to move, and the coupler & related mechanism is damaged. I remember having clicked a snap of that portion which mentioned: "To be used in case of accident."

Please be very cautious at such places.

Where exactly is this location??

Also, there seems to have been some welding work done on the front of the loco as the 'D' of the WDM2 has been mutilated. There is also a grill on the left windscreen which is not there on the right one. The lifting hole on the right also seems to have been blocked. What could be the reason for this??
