Beautiful. Do you have a shot of the train when it just about to negotiate the curve?

The twinbeam headlamp appears to be tilted(i have observed this slight tilt in many locos) or am I imagining things...?

By the livery it looks like BIA wag5.

WAG-4 has Bo-Bo bogies .. so this must be a WAM-4(the early ones that were used on freights) or a WAG-5

Hi Sachin, at 600mm, minimum shutter needed to handhold and keep it steady is 1/600sec. I had another camera on my tripod so I had to hold this. My lens is sharpest at f9 so I use that aperture. It was giving 1/300sec at ISO200 so I raised it to 400 to get higher shutter. This will avoid shake.

ON BEHALF OF ABHIJNAN: Apurva Sir, neither did I want the statements to be amusing nor did I want to become a hero. Infact, I am very particular about personal safety during railfanning. I was a little taken aback by what happened that day during railfanning, because I never expected something like that could happen to me. Moreover, the train was not too close to me.It was about half a kilometer away. And Rohit Sir, incredible as it may sound, the train sure didnot make any sound. - Abhijnan Ray
