Reminds you of the long freighters in the outbacks of Australia. The dust on the windscreen and clear blue sky completes the picture.

Arzan, ever since the TN (along with AP and KK) Express was introduced in the late 70s, the stops were Jhansi, Bhopal, Nagpur, Vijayawada. I do not recall any train at any time skipping Nagpur. Durontos do not have commercial stops today, but there are technical halts.

Mismatching was a norm as late as 1997, the year when I travelled in TN for the first time and the coach in which we travelled was a Green / Yellow coach. Ofcourse, we felt so special.

Thanks a lot Bharath for this one - this location is special for me. I have spent innumerable evenings at this spot watching trains (and developing life-long love for them) long before I knew what a "railfan" and IRFCA is.

The curve reminds me of Sewagram for some reason. Thanks for these pics, Ujjwal!

I do not think the TN used to skip Nagpur at any point since its introduction. Would it be possible to provide some schedules that prove this?
