I missed this! If only US had as good a railway system as IR, I could have made it from Virginia!

Bharat, they don't look that bad when viewed from the Long Hood side. See here http://www.irfca.org/gallery/Locos/Diesel/NG_diesel_locos/Shimla+Rly+Stn+Shivalik+Deluxe+Express+with+ZDM-3+%23156.JPG.html

Apu sir, you should have known that Nasik area is ruled by Sachin bhai and Anish.

Looking at the thumbnail I thought, Kamayani + grass = Nasik, but this is another location. Excellent picture.

Mangala with BIA WAM4 is a rare off link.

A very cute album. Nice set of pictures. I had travelled on this route in 1996. This journey is wonderful.

Shanx, interesting that there are now 4 of these in existence. Do you (or does anybody else) have further info on these mysterious machines? Such as why classified as ZDM3 - are they extensive rebuilds? If a new design then why plain ZDM3 when 3A and 3B versions exist for minor variations? And why use an already used number sequence? Questions, questions...
