Apurva,
The backhoe seems to small enough to be used for scooping dirt to place traction masts along the perminent way.

This is not a trial run but a scheduled service to Malur (I think).

On closer inspection, this doesn't look like a regular service - just a post OH trial run.

What a waste. Half of both the motor coaches are gobbled up by the engines. Why not modify a trailer coach to have a driving cab? The motor coaches are heavy and consume more fuel too.

Yes, they are self propelled.

DMUs have now started to replace traditional WDM powered rakes along this line. Very scenic route with banana and coconut plantations along the tracks on one side and the Kaveri on the other.
