It is the Bombardiar locos (63##) of Bangladesh Railway that have been imported from Canada. ALCO locos of Bangladesh are mostly Hitachi made. Ofcourse, the ALCO powerpacks are sourced from the USA.

As per information received from Najmul, all locos of BR belonging to 60xx and 61xx series are 2000HP ALCOs, imported from Canada.

Very nice photo of the rear portion of the train. Your effort of climbing up the hill have really produced great result.

Yes, this is Kalyani station distant signal, seen here at green aspect.

That signal could be a Distant in which case it would assume the yellow aspect when the train passes the next signal which should be the Home.Distant signals do not have their own Track Circuits due to which they cannot be made to return to yellow automatically.Also it seems unlikely that in an electrified double line section,a non-track circuited semi-automatic signal would be provided.

The aisle is so huge? For what purpose? A 2-by-2 arrangement could have easily fit in this wide a coach!
