This is one of the initial UTVs. Although the tyred truck has the capability to roll down the flat car and work around the tracks, yet this function is mostly not used due to operational constraints. The truck remains propped on the flat car (immobilized) and works like a fixed crane. The laetr UTVs have been procured with a fixed crane.

Many thanks for the compliments!
The camera was a 1980 Pentax ME Super with a 80-200 Takumar zoom lens; film Kodachrome 64.
Bizzy, yes this is the location I described as being about 5 kms south of Khallikot: I walked down the tracks. The road is away from the railway here.
Rohit, I took the exposure reading off the tracks as was my usual practice in such situations.

Thanks Rohit for this picture. I had never seen what WDS4 panel looks like. Now I know it.

Sir John , please can you tell us on how you chose exposure for this shot. The train is not dark and nor is the sky burnt out!!

I also wonder how he managed to get it so steady! That is what I guess separates a pros hands from a beginner. The aperture is wide open looking at the windows. Great shot!!
Thanks Bharath
