It is a real nice photo, the colours are very nice! Is this the Rani Chennama or the Hampi?

Nice pic, but the railing on the left where perhaps you kept the camera spoils the picture a little.

Seldom have I actually seen a freight train on WR tracks after BSR. On one of my many trips to Mumbai, have taken a trip down to VR and back, I till date have nevber spooted freight traffic on WR tracks...infact this is the first for me!!! But yes, I have seen KYN WCAG1s in the BAMY trip shed.

It's headed for BAMY. It's right time to start applying brakes before it hits points some 2 kms away at STC assuming it's running at speeds 60 kms or higher.

Quarters on right are for Class IV. The one in center and beyond (not seen) are for Class III.

like its fellow EMD WDM4, is WDP4 also 2 stroke??

Deception. This is smoke from Alco rather than EMD. It depends upon which loco is leading.

EMDs are 2-stroke proven design with very little smoke. Alco on the other hand, are worst polluters.
