The road numer of this loco is 22008 and not 22005. This loco was the icon of Indian Railways for several years

Same comments. Same question.

Ah, must add another interesting bit of info that I remembered. In those days, the tickets for Rajdhanis used to be printed in something akin to an airline ticket today - thin paper, cover jacket with instructions written on them et al. I remember vividly because I used to collect train tickets (the old small card tickets), and I used to be very disappointed when we travelled by Rajdhani because I did not get those card tickets!

The HWH Raj via Gaya ran on double diesel (both carrying the same Rajdhani livery) even in 1986. I remember that the lead loco even carried a name plate bearing the train name.

They're facing the other way... you never have signals facing outwards from the platform just within feet of the platform :-)

Very nice picture! It has so many details!

What's up with the signals? Is this the back or are they out of order?

Wagons. Narrow Gauge Box Wagon & Flat Wagon. A Rarity.

The Black Handle is rotated clockwise & Anticlockwise for opening and closing of the Gates. When the Train passes an electric signal is generated to the Station Masters office. Then the Station Master releases an electric signal to this cabin. Then the key comes out of the box. This key is inserted into this Handle leaver to open or close. All the system is interlocked. The Gates will not open till the Train has passed the Gate. So the Gateman is powerless. Public some times think that they can pressuarise him into opening the Gate which is not
possible.

Notice the Water Tank in the up Right Hand side. In Steam days it was very very usefull. Now they still use it for the Stations & other utilities.

What is important is that I.R is making
Heavy Haulage a proper managment system.
Very soon we may have more Locos & Loger trains with twice as much Box Wagons.
