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..

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.

Hmmmm.....looks like 2264x has roof mounted DBR's.

The hills look nice! Wonder whether there is a road to go up. Someone can go there and take stunning snaps of JTJ. BTW, the diesel in the background is a GTL WDM?

Great! This is one of your best IMHO, Rohit. I like the way you've effectively got only the loco.

Great shot Rohit!Maybe being a 222xx series,SR dared to use this loco on 2007.

File name says quite a bit! I was using a 500mm screw mount MF Takumar lens, which I had borrowed from a friend just to test it out. On a DSLR like mine, it becomes 750mm! I stopped it down to f8 or f11. Had it on a tripod to avoid shake.
