The white structure is the refueling facility. Note that none of these MG wagons carry the suffix N as that stands for air braked, applicable only to BG stock.

Ah, the good 'ol WAM2. Priceless! I grew-up on these Bo-Bo locos. They lent so much character to the Grand Chord section. Will never forgot my first encounter with the orange-cream Asansol Exp. with matched-livery WAM2, at Howrah.

Reminds me of all the trips I made in the IGP-BSL section back in the 70s and early 80s. Great photo!

Are these in use with LHB rakes such as in the BPL shatabdi?
If someone could help?
