Excellent effort Ashwin! Were you on a boat on the river or something? Another thing here, folks, did you notice the symmetry of this shot? Exactly three piers on either side are free of the train! Brilliant! ( I could go on...)

Looks like an enlarged version of a toy train loco!

@ Aseem - there is only ONE territory - Indian Railways! That is the beauty of the system which makes it so interesting, else it would be so monotonous.

Cabs are not fitted with AC. It would take another millennium before IR even thinks to fit AC in loco cabs....

The colourful boats in the foreground and the greenary all around add to the beauty of the freight train on the bridge.

Dirt inside the cab due to the loco being stabled without closing the windows.

Is DP 4D longer than single cab locos or is it just an illusion?
