Karan, (Off topic) : For me, this type of food is ok once in a while, but if I have it more than once a week, give me the food on the Mandovi Express menu any day.

This snap is rare!! coz
1) The 2609 /10 is now WDP4 hauled.
2) It used to get a WAP4 on normal occasions.
Excellent photo!!

An afterthought-the picture could be that of a MAWD which was used in large numbers on MG in those days.

Apart from Assam, they were also handling some lines in Bengal including the then Darjeeling Mail route via the Hardinge Bridge.
