I have not even spotted one single-piece windshield **Jessop** rake down south (MAS-AJJ or MSB-TBM-CGL).Also the single-piece windshield ICF rakes are never used in MRTS or in branchline duty like the Anna Nagar train.

Correct. Till the early 80's Thane had five platforms. When this one was built, it was called platform 6 before changing to platform 1. Are these 'elements' reused from some other location?

Had got a SMS from Sachin Buddhisagar about this sighting. It was 9th October 2006, and I was on my way to Pune. Had just alighted BCT by the 2954.

Its a water tank alright but it doesn't seem to be in NG? NG having tank wagons is hard to believe.

Also, this "washing machine" seems capable of cleaning only the roofs of carriages, as there are no brushes to clean the side panels.
