Empty rake of shatabdi express rolled down the grade from KLK and ran for 10-12 kms. Then a catch siding was built at KLK (about 650 m from the 8 kmph board visible in this pic in 2001 by yours truly.

Cool pic!!

rohit, in the canon A85, turning red-eye off means a long trip down menu lane. One would prefer to have it on, since if the camera will fire the compulsory flash , it might as well do the red-eye reduction while it focuses, since the small orange light used to focus is also used for red-eye reduction.

Aah.. so a DD coach is virtually a 3-level coach. Great snap. But as Bharath puts it.. it must get very very crowded in there.

Excellent, good shot

Nice shot! I find it hard to believe you had red eye reduction on when you shot this. The timing always screws up for me!! Anyway what use of red eye red?

Just one word....PURE MAGIC! Is it the same pic that you had mentioned in your mail John Sir (5kms from khallikote)? Please mail be the location details if possible.
