I only hope the crew got out in time. It seems pretty badly burnt

It appears that the loco was hit by a horizontal beam or something, like a vertical clearance issue, Interesting, indeed?

I wonder what this loco hit? The buffers, cattle-guard and coupling seems to be intact! Also, the headlights and markers seem to have suffered little or no damage!

Does anyone have any inputs?

.

This loco had caught fire and was apparently burnt beyond repair. The way the paint has peeled off confirms the fact that it must have been a major fire!

The curse of number 8!!

Doesn't look like it's crashed....any idea why it's scrapped?

Surely for LKO Shatabdi as it used to have D to E change there but this was a regular feature on BPL or better say JHS Shatabdi in its initial days.

This loco is now a Barbie Doll. Check this pic taken at Ratlam in November 2005.

I don't think so, Gowri. The grille, which seems to be a single-piece, seems to give that impression.
