There is a public demand to decrease speed here, but it cannot be done because of the gradiant as there is risk of stalling.

Oops: sorry. Appu is right. It must be Limestone.

@Alok: The load was Sand. The 10th and 11th Wagons were not filled as they were badly damaged.

Is there any speed restriction due to the wildlife here? like you have on the way to Dehradun.

Undoubtedly charming and more so without all the clutter coming from catenaries!

Are you sure it is WDM-2. To me it looks like WDM-3A, as gathered from the lettering just about the right hand buffer.

Interesting emblem of TNP loco shed. A bird, perhaps suggesting a bird sanctuary nearby?

On the contrary the end of the screen shot looks rather fabulous...Yes if the same had a BOXN rake or even a 24 coacher behind it. Marveloous had it been.
