awesome collection. Liked that rail cum road bridge still working. My last encounter with NKE YDM4 was four years back in IZN only. Nice to see them in action here.

You are right Mulky Sir. The most noteworthy movie of John Woo is Mission impossible-2 from which this bird fluttering shot got prominence. Another shot in IRFCA which can be referred to is http://www.irfca.org/gallery/Locos/Electric/wap1_3_6/11-22033.jpg.html

Srini Sir, I believe after GC this bridge will be solely for road transport which surely would require intensive repairs or maybe even relaying the road. If you see on the right side behind the people a separate Rail viaduct is almost well on track for a near completion

Srini Sir, The wider embankment is more for the locals and the villagers to walk along the tracks towards their remote homes/farms. Now it finds use for future GC

The one on the Left is the Jayanagar-Howrah Passenger with a Burdwan Alco and the one on the right is the Capital Express with Malda Town WDM3A

Burdwan is the old Anglicized name for Barddhaman, and the name is still in use today. John Woo is a Hong Kong based film maker known for action films, though I have not seen any of them. Is the birds being disturbed by a train a favourite shot of his?
