This looks amazingly similar to the Circular Railway of Kolkata, when it used to run with a WDS, prior to the electrification. The huts in this part of the country also lie this close at some parts, to the railway tracks in the Circular Railway Line!!

The PA-HWH Azad Hind Express had such a coach on one of its rakes.

Is this station close to Naupada JN ? I guess this loco might be from the Naupada - Gunupur Line..under GC??

The days to run trials for these panels are over. You find them all over Kerala too on the Shornur-Cannanore stretch. Its been there for 5 years. I guess the reason to use solar panels would be to avoid wiring issues and to an extent power savings.

I wonder why they would install an expensive solar panel inside the town where electricity can easily be fed from elsewhere. Perhaps it was under trials and they were monitoring it?

Hi Alok. Yes; thats a solar panel. The big black box behind the semaphore arm in the rechargeable battery pack so the signal lasts the whole night.

Looks like twin WCG2 are heading the rake rather than banking it.
