Unfortunately this loco ( when it was with SRC) had a very sensitively set QD which used to lead to some uncalled for regressions at crucial moments when hauling power is required to be at it's peak. Hope the people at TATA correct this.

Yeah what Vibin 'KJM' said was absolutely correct. The observation car a.k.a. inspection car is stationed there, quite often cleaned!

For diesels, my personal favorite had always been KYN livery but now that is pushed to second with this current RTM livery becoming first.

This must be the first snap of an ERS loco at SBC in the Gallery.

1. The Loco will go back on the same track and move to PF6 to take over the Chamundi Exp
2. The AC car on the right is part of an inspection rake... always stationed there. This coach has retractable / collapsible footsteps... a speciality

Yes it is a transfer from SRC. Check out this picture when it was in SRC. You will find loads of other picture's of 22600 when it was in SRC other than the one i linked.

Nice to see a palindrome loco.

I think 22600 is a transfer from Santragachi shed. Can anyone confirm this?

Posted by Ranjeet Ramaswamy Iyer on 2007 Oct 12 12:24:39 +0000

The train on the other side may be the SBC-KCG-SBC Express. Please confirm!
