Great John!! You've a steam pic to every location!! BTW where exactly was it taken? Looks like a bit further from VaniVihar PH towards CTC (and the National Hhighway #5 ROB in the background), right?

No, Bizzy: the train is southbound. I just walked down the track south from Bhubaneswar Station. I think the ROB may be south of the station. I'm afraid I don't know the area well at all, so I can't really comment on the location: I just stayed in BBS for 2 days in 1984; and overnight in 2000. I was looking for a lake marked on my map: obviously, that was only full in monsoon time, but I had not realised that.

OK, i got the location. The landscape sure has changed beyond recognition!

Why is the dome or nose of WP like this?
