IMHO, its a bit too close for comfort, but an EXCELLENT SHOT none the less!! Always look forward to seeing such great snaps from stalwarts like Ashish and Appu!!

Actually, the loco was coming in quiet quickly and Ankit did not have time to reach the other end. Since this being his favorite diesel loco, you can understand his enthusiasm!

Excellent shot Ashish! Is it not a bit too close to the tracks? At that place I expect no freight to come in at less than 80kmph.

Livery of the KZJ loco suggests it to be a WDG3A, whereas the trailing loco seems to be a Shakti in the Orange livery. Anyways, the 1st coach after the locos don't seem like an SLR, but a GS, whereas the next 2 coaches look like SL.

Notice the absence of buffers on the WDG4

Looks like the trailing loco is a WDG 3A shakti.

The WDS6 and the white caboose blend in well with the thick green foliage. Good snap!

This WDG 3A seems to be used only for passengers. it is a regular on Poorna Exp

I'm guessing, since its on the third line, its going to Indore.
