VabbyPal This is the sexiest thing of this line and the best way to experience this is either by the BPL Shatabdi or the Taj express. Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 31 04:03:51 +0000 |

Sachin BalwatkarCheck out the sleepers used, still the old ones. And the signalling wires on the right side of the track. Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 28 09:17:08 +0000 |

Sandeep BhateNoticed the headlight change (livery chage as well), in the picture taken in 2000 at Madras it is showing single beam headlight and in this photo it has a double beam headlight. Same holds true for WAP4 # 22217 (in the two photos mentioned in above comment) as well. Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 14 03:12:41 +0000 |

Hi Vabby, if you noticed, the train has two locos one had just failed outside GWL and the second was just about to fail while the train was on the bridge. We spent about an hour for another loco to take us off till the next station. Not an interesting place in the peak of summer in the afternoon.
