This is a departmental rake. It would have gone loaded in the other direction. After dropping off the LWR's it would have reversed without setting the caboose in the right place and is returning now.

This is a treasure. The double decker road bridge is also visible in the photo.

Dinesh sir, it wasn't as dangerous as it appears to be. This is a still from a video and the train was doing no more than 20kmph at that time.

Wow! This is one of the cutest steam loco I have ever seen!

Would this have borne Oudh & Rohillkhand's MG line too? Look how superb the Ganga is looking - a far cry from today!

Fantastic image.

I can see some people in the last coach of the rake . Is it a departmental rake on routine maitainence duty? And why is the caboose behind the Pune-3D - any good reason?

Nice! This is probably the first time I am seeing a fully refrigerated container train in semaphore territory!

I think, this rake is meant for carrying Long Welded Rails.

Nice one. The rainbow has come out well, but as Dinesh said, try to darken it. Also, the region to the left of the rainbow has got wasted and its better to crop it, so that the image is more pronounced.
