There is a small station at this place for employees of DLS. I think most of the passenger trains stop over here

A WCG2-hauled BCNA rake can be seen as a sillhoute between the lone WDG4 and the twin WDG3s.

I should have said that the photographer is unknown.

Although the carbon deposits around the radiator may give the impression the loco is always run SHF it's unlikely to be the case! When running SHF (at speed) the engine exhaust gases trail past the (vertical) radiator outflow and are forced sideways, thus blackening the side of the hood. The inflow into the radiator may also contibute to the effect. When travelling LHF the exhaust gases are only forced down in the gap between the short hood and whatever it's hauiling, hence the noticeable blackening near the top of the SH. I bet this one's a real smoker, all the same.

EMU marked 10708 - has it been transferred from anywhere? (like WR-CR transfers in Mumbai). The reason I ask is the different numbers - 708 and 10708 - on the same rake.

Great pic, rust colored rake against greenish backdrop gives a nice touch.

Even this WDS-6 has been rebuilt? And is this the first pic of BGA shed on the gallery?
