Nice shot! Pretty rare to find all MUed Locos in one shot!. And By the way, seems your bag is tied up to the tracks!

Wonderful picture - really captures the atmosphere of the narrow gauge

The loco looks real cute in that orange and yellow livery! Seems dual headlights on all ZDMs is a recent feature. Thankd for the pic.

The flat cars seem to have some metal rods/strips.

Reminds me very much of my fav spot - Barang. A striking resemblance!

These are the Yelagiri hills. There is a road up, but further north/east from this point. The summit is quite a
distance from here, but there is a viewpoint with telescopes and one can see JTJ station from there..

Looks like they've bgun painting the cow catcher too in the same fashion, compare with a red cow catcher below:

In fact there is a road going up, in the old days, you could see a good number of panthers here.

Ya Sid, the 22649 shot here, like most of the 2264X and 2265X are having roof-mount DBRs. BTW, yes, that's a GTL diesel there, Jimmy, and I don't think there's road to the hilltop - but trekking to the top may not be too difficult.
