The hills look nice! Wonder whether there is a road to go up. Someone can go there and take stunning snaps of JTJ. BTW, the diesel in the background is a GTL WDM?

Hmmmm.....looks like 2264x has roof mounted DBR's.

Ya Sid, the 22649 shot here, like most of the 2264X and 2265X are having roof-mount DBRs. BTW, yes, that's a GTL diesel there, Jimmy, and I don't think there's road to the hilltop - but trekking to the top may not be too difficult.

In fact there is a road going up, in the old days, you could see a good number of panthers here.

These are the Yelagiri hills. There is a road up, but further north/east from this point. The summit is quite a
distance from here, but there is a viewpoint with telescopes and one can see JTJ station from there..
