The loco is ex-ED, now ERS WDM-3A 17894R. It is not a baldie.

Very nice shot. But was this pic taken an year ago? In 2007? The location is bridge across Periyar at Alwaye? From the time this pic was shot, this is Guruvayoor-Ernakulam Pass, which is regularly hauled by ERS WDM 3A's, even though the train is just 10 coach long.
