I have a feeling that 23333 is an old friend of the Vindhyan adventure gang and it belongs to BSL! :D

Great pic too!

Yes. We met at Panvel and spent an hour and half there

Were you railfanning together?

No idea Samar. Since the rake was travelling at speed, I could not make out the shed

Very nice...are the other twins also from TKD on the right. There are no markings except the road number and loco type.

And again very good.

Kids doing some railfanning perhaps?

My guess is that the BOXNs in question are not empty. I think there are iron ore movements from somewhere up from Kulem (forget the name of the place) that go over the ghats and these BOXNs are laden with that. Such wagons look like they are empty since the weight of the ore does not allow complete filling of the wagons. That may be the case they are covered though I really don't think it makes much of a difference where iron ore is concerned. And for all that I've said, these may well be some other dense material. The other BOXN seems to be laden with coal since that will permit piled-high loading. Great snap anyway!
