Bharat VohraYes, this is the standard ABR shed livery - carried over from the MG YDM4 days! Unfortunately, on this day, it did not have a matching power in its double header consist! Posted by Guest on 2004 Feb 19 14:33:09 +0000 |

NeilGreat work, Guys!! This refutes the widely believed notion that this route & all the associated structures (such as tunnels) were built by the Brits. But, at the same time, shame on IR was neglecting such historical plaques - hope someone higher up at Bombay CST will take notice of this. Posted by Guest on 2004 Feb 19 14:30:55 +0000 |

This was a double headed load in fact! Both locos were live and mu'ed together! MG freights out of Delhi are single hauled when the load is upto 25 8-wheeler box cars + 1 gaurd van (total 26) and for anything longer one would see a double headed working! This was however only the 2nd one spotted by me on this section till date!
