It is indeed a WDM-3A from Erode. Check out this link http://www.irfca.org/photos/SachinMisc/wdm3anetravati

Note the tender borrowed from a WG or WP steam loco attached to the rear of this consist. Also the elegant lines of what appears to be an ex-steam loco shed in the background.

My apologies, this is a CR Ajni WAG7 and not an MGS loco as stated in the caption.

Thanks guys for capturing this elusive beast. This is the only one of its kind at the moment and may stay like that forever. Looks real handsome as well.

That looks like an ERS WDM2 to me... can even be a Erode WDM3A. These YDM4s are bound towards NWR/WR sheds of Sabarmati & Phulera as they are no longer needed in the SCR region follwing guage conversion on the Nizamabad section.

Doesn't the ticket say distance between two stations is 58 KMS

Are these towns famous for Basmati rice and Hing-dana (local Indian spice/ digestive.. don't know the English name)
