Mismatching was a norm as late as 1997, the year when I travelled in TN for the first time and the coach in which we travelled was a Green / Yellow coach. Ofcourse, we felt so special. Posted by Harish Kumar on 2009 Dec 15 04:27:02 +0000 |

Just to draw everyone's attention away from Srini, the Udyan is creeping up next to the bankers waiting on the sidelines, and the next snap shows when it has caught up with them. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2009 Dec 15 04:26:07 +0000 |

Tank locomotives are preferred or suburban duties as they have better visibility when running tender first, which they nearly always do in one direction. Posted by Harsh Vardhan on 2009 Dec 15 01:14:17 +0000 |

Indeed it is a meter gauge locomotive. BBCIR No. 98 was a B class 0-4-4 tank locomotive built by Dubs in 1874. Earlier examples were built by Naysmth Wilson. The location of this picture could be Ajmer works. However it was not uncommon for Amroli or Dahod to repair locomotives other than broad gauge.

Arzan, ever since the TN (along with AP and KK) Express was introduced in the late 70s, the stops were Jhansi, Bhopal, Nagpur, Vijayawada. I do not recall any train at any time skipping Nagpur. Durontos do not have commercial stops today, but there are technical halts.
