Your right Alok. I think it will take another 3 to 4 months minimum. Even the tracks have been washed away for some distance either side of that bridge.

Good catch! Please switch off that date/time feature on your camera. It spoils a good picture!!

A gorgeous smoker, look at the carbon deposit.

Where is the BG line? on the other side?

Although the carbon deposits around the radiator may give the impression the loco is always run SHF it's unlikely to be the case! When running SHF (at speed) the engine exhaust gases trail past the (vertical) radiator outflow and are forced sideways, thus blackening the side of the hood. The inflow into the radiator may also contibute to the effect. When travelling LHF the exhaust gases are only forced down in the gap between the short hood and whatever it's hauiling, hence the noticeable blackening near the top of the SH. I bet this one's a real smoker, all the same.

EMU marked 10708 - has it been transferred from anywhere? (like WR-CR transfers in Mumbai). The reason I ask is the different numbers - 708 and 10708 - on the same rake.

Great pic, rust colored rake against greenish backdrop gives a nice touch.

Buffers of some of the WDG-4s have been removed. Some of these locos still retain the buffers.

Nice shot, shows various moods - surprise in the foreground and anticipation on the face of porters in the background.
