Cannot get this image out of my mind. It is unbelievable that such an exotic beast exists in Mumbai and no one knows about it.

The bar in question is the one across the door. You can see that the left hand of the assistant driver is resting on it. YOu can see the "bar" in the open position in the other picture - here it is hanging parallel to the regular rails on the either side of the door.

Could anyone point for me which bar is being talked about in this picture?

Neil,

BEML is Bharat Earth Movers Ltd. which is a heavy engineering industry that is alreadt into railway business. This is a mockup of the Skybus, there are sadly no working models anywhere. A working track is planned between Panaji and Mapusa in Goa.

Great one man. This is exotic stuff. Is this battery operated? And the pipelines are for water?

Seems like a 'Neta' is getting a free ride in the train...

What is BEML? And are these just concept trains or is there a working example of such trains in India?

Also note the wagon being hauled behind.

I do not find any anomaly in this sign board. Stop-Look-Go has always been the policy for be it road or rail crossing.

sorry- it is indeed a vatva loco.
