RMV = rail maintenance van. It is a glorified and self propelled trolley used by "gangs".

That's a Ballast Regulating Machine (BRM)

Beautiful picture indeed. Looks like IRFCAns assembled at Poochi saar's favourite location to snap the demise of MG.

This is probably a Ballast Spreader cum Cess Compactor.The folding plates on the flanks are lowered to give the neat slope to the ballast on the "cess".

One can also see irfca gangmen Vimal(2nd door) and Harish(1st door)waving out from the first coach.

Very nice capture, had the lake on the left been full, it would have added even more glamour!!

All credit for the so called derailment goes to the Gang which was doing the thermit welding, the removal of clamps resulted in the increased width of the track and the inevitable happened. At least it didn't derail when Bizzy Mishra, Pawan Koppa & I were near the truck !!! Dilip Setlur
