Nice sets of pics from across the border. Nice to see you taking IRFCA in Bangladesh with Najamul.

Good pic! Their Broad gauge numbering is like our MG numbering convention

Najmul, thanks for providing us a rare glimpse of BR. Looking forward to more pictures, particularly of the Jamuna Bridge.

The wagon has only 4 wheels! Perhaps the 'fitness' for crossing JB depends on the CC of the wagons, as the bridge may only be strong enough to carry a particular load.

Note that the loco has both a CBC as well as a screw coupler.

Interesting to note that though the preprinted parts of the ticket are in both English and Bengali, the computer-printed part is only in Bengali.

The oncoming train is running on mixed gauge.
