All the participants name are available with OC. After correct pointers it will be posted.

Dr Mulky, I think Bhaveen wants to point out the difference in orientation of front pantos of the two locos- in WCAM-2, the front panto forms a < shape opening to the front, while in WCAM-1, it forms to the rear.

Dr Mulky: I suggested naming all the people just so that the documentation stays in the archives. I personally am unable place names to faces for a LOT of people here.
The ones I recognize quickly are: Upper Berth- Shantanu Kulkarni, Abhishek Risbud, Sagar Tipnis, Shashanka Nanda. Standees: Dr Mulky, Sid Ganesh, VSP, S. Srinivas, Nitin Master. Middle Berth: Bhushan Kale, Mr. and Mrs. Bhate, Harsh Vardhan. Lower Berth: Jattin Bhavsar, Lalam, Sachin Buddhisagar (what a pose!), Raj Bhavsar. That's all!

Karan is right, the lazy eye focuses on VSP, who was anyways the centre of attraction at the Convention. Karan, it would be better if you pointed out someone you don't know, and then maybe someone can identify them for you. It would be a huge job to name each and every person seen here.

Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Feb 08 02:51:45 +0000

Wonderful idea! It will be quite an effort, but can someone (or collaboratively) name all/most of the railfans seen in this one-of-a-kind photo?
PS: Quite apt to see the popular VSP occupying centerstage!

Bhaveen, for AC-DC loco, it is just a matter of chance whether the front panto or the rear panto is in use.

Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Feb 08 02:49:26 +0000

A case of a beast loco overtaking an elegant loco!

Posted by Mani Vijay on 2011 Feb 07 19:22:28 +0000

Good! snapshot of an era when AC-DC locos are still ruling.
