Nice catch Jimmy. Were both diesels running live? Wish they would smoke while capturing the snap.

Dear Arzan, both locos were running. I have another pic with the heat distortion. The WDG 3a's never smoke like WDM 2's :-( The train ran almost continuously last year, but this year it did not run for many months

Thanks Jimmy for the revert. Looking at this picture, also makes me remember the days the 6529/6530 Udyan Express used to be hauled by twin Gooty WDG3A's. It was a sight to watch. Now a single WDP4 takes charge of it up and down.
