Ranjeet, this was indeed the most amazing crossing in the entire trip. The train was descending a gradient and the straight tracks ahead showed three greens; so the train blasted past us at its MPS!
By the way, the first loco was in new ET livery and the second was in traditional one.

Ranjeet, this photo was taken yesterday morning (26th Jan 2009) when myself and Sagar Tipnis waited at Londa to change over from Rani Chenamma Express to YPR-JU Express.

Our in-house TTE for the event (Colin Peter) is on the extreme right. The ghost figure seen second from left is Poochi Veenkat and to the right of him is Chechu sir. Someone please identify the rest.

There is a two-wheeler parking lot opposite to the station i.e. on the other side of the road. I think from there the pic could be more better!

When was it taken? I think this pic was taken in your Goa and Doodhsagar trip way back in Jul'08. Correct me, If i'm wrong.

Well I can identify some. Abhishek Tamahankar(in white cap), Sagar Tipnis(4th from right). On the left side of Sagar is Jattin bhai. Then I think Ajit Rao is standing on the left side of Jattin bhai.

This is exactly the visual effect of Raj Bhavsar's SMS to me about this crossing!
