A "neat" view, thanks to the wireless territory! Why are there so many of those curved rails in the foreground? - Makes for an interesting view nevertheless~!

Thanks Apurva, it was my pleasure. Right, I failed to notice the unusual positioning of the horns. The wagons are BOBRN class hopper wagons, which are very common here.

Looks like a typical American locomotive from the front!

Not that rare either - There're quite a few from Raipur, and a couple from VSKP too.

A 16xxx series loco with an 'R' is rare sight indeed. Wonder why this one was rebuilt ...

This loco has bogies similar to a mail/express coach! Note the positioning of springs and suspension!

In fact, this is very close to Nagothane station (0.5km). The terrain in Konkan is such that the countryside closes in very quickly before/after the station. Sometimes, even at the station!
