Haha thanks Sachin. But i have to tell you that i did not keep the camera on my hands. I had placed it on a flat surface where the pillars are situated. And the ISO is 100.

Good Catch.

Now, does this variation in the heights of the CBCs have anything to do in the frequent uncoupling of CBC rakes as has happened recently with AP, Charminar & Godavari expresses.
