nice pic mamu reminds me of how i was huffing and puffing and stalled halfway up climbing the hill and you guys went ahead.The driver of the KSK was a very good friend of the SC gang and he is now retired.

I was infact waiting for train to go to Malad but there was no train whole day. I went home after water receded at around 4pm. I saw Chennai Dadar express finally leaving towards Dadar at 7 pm.

16293 is a Kerala SK loco. You can notice the sticker
under it's cab. What a strange place to find ERS locos! Posted by Jimmy Jose on 2007 Apr 12 06:02:23 -0500 (122.167.57.31)

And needless to say SC station continues to impress with its spic and span look. Hats of to those guys! Wish other large city stations would take cue..

For exactly the same reason (forces created by slack) and as a general rule, 4 wheeler stock is never marshalled in a consist where it is between 2 8 wheelers. It is ok for 2 or more 4 wheelers to be between 8 wheeler stock but not for a single 4 wheeler. Of course all of this is almost irrelevant these days given that only block rakes are run by IR - as against mixed freights in the early days.

Brilliant effort but there is a small correction. Sahibabad does not fall on the DLI-GZB route nor on the Anand Vihar-GZB route. It falls exactly after these 2 lines, hence making it a triangular section. And the station after that - about 4 kms later is GZB!

That is because this small wagon cannot bear the buffing(slack-in and slack-out)forces when coupled in between two coaches/goods wagons and is prone to derail.It will be put behind a 75/100 kmph goods train after the caboose and yes,that unlucky driver has to not exceed 60 kph.They won't hook this wagon to stopping passengers even ! Most of these OHE cars are self-propelled.
