U bet Jagan will be taking more pics today and posting it ASAP :-)

This loco seems to be a named one. What is it's name? Are they out on some special run?

Pal u have brought back the memories of the most exotic trip in irfca called Satpura oddessey. the trip was conducted to cover most of the NG Region . Jabalpur-gondia, gondia-nainpur. Nainpur-mandla fort, Nainpur-Nagpur and the best part was to see 3 ZDM,s pulling a coal laden freight train to some thermal power station near NGP

Nice steam locos. Are they still in service? If so, it must be great.

It is indeed a coach from the Mysore - Nizamuddin Swarna Jayanthi exp rake.

I don't know what pleasure they get in switching power generater cars between shatabdis and rajdhanis.

The vertical extensions at both ends of the loco seem to be blocking the view of the driver. What does he do? Hang his head out of the window?

This looks ghastly! The poor old NDM1! Apurva, is this actualy in service since you mentioned the cummins engine being retrofitted on it? If so, any more units in use apart from 501?

Retrofitting of a Cummins engine (and its associated radiator) in the slot of the original MWM prime mover has resulted in this strange looking hood design.
