Colin, this is not from my cellphone but since it was early morning and I kept fast shutter speed to avoid motion blur of train moving at 100kmph, the pic came very dark and trying to add a little light to it has affected the quality a bit.

This is exactly the visual effect of Raj Bhavsar's SMS to me about this crossing!

Ranjeet, this was indeed the most amazing crossing in the entire trip. The train was descending a gradient and the straight tracks ahead showed three greens; so the train blasted past us at its MPS!
By the way, the first loco was in new ET livery and the second was in traditional one.

Karan, yeah Raj had messaged me and the words he used were enough for me to visualise this precious moment. Lets wait and watch his video of the same! Thanks a million for sharing this pic.

Lovely picture. At,Akkalkot Road for the first time I had spotted a Black Beauty in 1989. It's a lovely station too. Thanks for the refreshing those memories.

Spectacular shot.

Karan,
I assume the TRAINS in the photograph are 1013 and 2627.
...
May I know the reason as to why the SUNLIGHT has taken precedence over the subjects? Is it because you have concentrated on the Flag and also on the loco of the Incoming Train? I am unable to locate the Number of atleast one coach.:-)
....
I assume you are standing near the Pointsman.

I welcome to be corrected.

excellent shot with most no of comments!!

@ VSP sir
The trains are indeed LTT-CBE and KK.
I used the flag to block the sun to avoid overexposure of the pic. Sorry but I am unable to comprehend the remaining parts of your comment. Sir, can you please elaborate? (maybe in mail if not in comments)

Good lighting effects. Composition could have been improved. The pole seems to grow out of the mans head, which is a 'photo-spoiler' as the rest of the pic is really good.

If only the image quality would've been better.(guess this has come outta your cel phone)
