Why is the loco numbered 18953A ? And note the generator car, it's in a different livery than the rest of the train ! This is a rare shot of the diesel hauled Shatabdi toKalka, so I hope the webmasters do not delete this despite the excessive file size.

The loco's profile reminds me of the Metropolitan Vickers EA/1.

Or could it be WAG-9?

Oh my god!! What a terrible sight. My heart really weeps at this tragic picture! I have seen this loco so many times when I used to stay in Madras, near Kodambakkam station. It used to cruise past with the many evening MG trains, which are extinct now. Scrap vendors must be having a great time selling the Japanese electricals. What is the condition of the other YAM's?

Oops! I messed up. Uploaded the wrong pic with the right caption. Anyway, this is the same loco that the driver's photo was supposed to be with. All the rest is the same

The rear loco obviously looks like a LKO WDM-2 due to it's blue/grey livery and the front one seems to be from Katni shed. Just a guess!

A Lallaguda(LGD)WAP-4 can also be seen in the background:)

It's almost like a WAG5HB !! From a distance even a pucca trainspotter would be fooled !!
