Why aren't the two rails at the same level? Would the wheels travelling on the higher rails experience a thud when going over the lower rails? Having both rails at the same level would also potentially eliminate the panto-lowering and re-raising exercise.

Great pic, Ashish. Very realistic and full of emotions! Really a different change. Thanx

Dear Zubin,

A few of the locos are coal-fired and a few are oil-fired.

It is understood action is being taken to convert the "coal-fired" locos into "oil-fired" ones which job has been entrusted to GOC.

Dear VSP
But I could not see a single oil fired loco any where at all ! Zubin.

Thanks Doc. I cropped from the bottom cause there was too much clutter there. There is a underpass right there and the structures there were a little distracting

Good shot. The catenary appears to play to positive role here without cluttering the subject.

The herd of goats add a different perspective to what could have been run-of-the-mill stuff. Looks like revving the locomotive is enough for the goats to clear the tracks.

Nice crisp picture. As for the cropping would it not be better to leave some space in the bottom to balance the "free" space in the top? Almost a total lack of any "free" space in the bottom makes the picture looks a bit awkward.

Brilliant album Zubin. Keep up the good work.
