Great set of pix. Enjoyed them. Hope the Mavli-Marwar remains MG till I get a chance to ride on it.

Nice coverage by all of you. It was really a treat for me to witness the birthday bash for the first time.

@ Apurva - I think Mumbai chapter has done its bit last year at Mumbai as well as this year by doing a midnight journey and a couple (incl me) came on the preceeding day and being present for the celebrations @ Pune. Its true that DQ originated from Mumbai, but it originates for a given day from Pune currently and it was great to celebrate it here with the Pune chapter, although a couple of Mumbai railfans did make it to CST in the evening.
