Karan, nice observation. Looks to be some kind of optical illusion like had been noted recently in an uploaded picture on the gallery!

Any of these in steam? Good capture, with sun setting a capture from other side of the line would have been interesting.

Spectacular shot.

Nice capture. Note the absence of shed markings on the loco (though this is evidently homed at SGUJ). Also observe the paint job which seems to be better than the standard DLW finish.

Nice poignant capture.

This must be the first Rajdhani in the country to be hauled by a WDP-4. Nice to see IR's most prized locos taking charge of the most prized trains.

For the record, the only other Rajdhani/Shatabdi that gets a WDP-4 is the 2007/08 Chennai-Mysore Shatabdi between SBC-MYS.

Nice shot. The Shatabdi rake looks quite clean and fresh. I daresay the bridge would look a lot less drab with a coat of paint.

@Shanx,

A small correction - the Shatabdi must have run to NDLS and not DLI, otherwise it would not have taken this route.

GREAT. Rare capture indeed. Sad this would soon be history.
