Thanks a lot Bharath for sharing this photo with us.I have not seen any loco taller than this monster. This one was even taller than the double decker rakes. According to me, the location seems to between Sandhurst Rd & Byculla station of CR

Had spotted this loco at Itarsi in april 2007 and was hauling the Gondwana to nzm

such a train would make even a freight pilot lethargic....btw! have BRC started calling their P4s are 'Mayur'?

FZR BCT Janata express has a lot of slack. Last time when I traveled in it till BL, from VR to Palghar, it was made to trail a MEMU and slow down at each station. After Palghar it stops at all stations so following a MEMU was not a problem. The train also had a very very lethargic driver. In spite of all this, it reached BL only 5 minutes late.

Nice clean loco shining in mid-day sun. These ASN WAG-5 locos are now also being used for passenger services in SDAH-LGL section.

The flag exchange/waving out would have made it further brilliant with the sunlight.

Great ! One windscreen (on the right looking out) looks smaller than the other, is it just me?
