I really like your photos. You are doing a great job with the S2.

good train this is!! before it was extended from SRE to CDG, there wasn't any direct connection between LKO and CDG.

many thanks for sharing photos of that region. Wish I was there at that time, and we could have done spotting together. If possible try Laksar Jn (LRJ) the next time. Being a Jn, you'd get to see far more trains. At RKE, you miss out on those going from DDN to LKO, but get to see those taking LRJ avoiding line.

Even after shed change, this loco and other GTL WDM-3a are regular on Prashanti, therefore, I wouldn't be surprised if the loco change still happens at GY, with the locos only having short distances to traverse to GTL.

Previously when prashanthi was with GY powers, it used to get a loco change at GY. Now I don't know the situation after it started getting GTL powers. Maybe loco change is happening at GTL during the process of reversal.

Wow! Thats a hard working loco. It took the prashanti out on 24 and brought it back in and took it out again on 26. Where does loco change happen?

Just went through my old notes and realised that this loco was repainted in the regular GTL blue livery sometime in March/April this year.

Note the GTL loco in the GY livery. 18763R is a recent transfer to GTL.
