The loud horn of the ADI - SBC 6502 express sends janata on the
ground scurrying into their coach at Jinti Road. |

A Gooty WDG2 in an unusual purple and cream livery
— the name 'Shakti' is written on the side. This is the
Solapur station and the WDG2 is hauling a long rake of empty flats
towards Hotgi Jn. |
|
The platforms and tracks at Washimbe are at a lower
level, while the station master's cabin is at a higher level. This
extended platform is used by the staff for exchanging signals with
passing trains. |

Pune WDM2C diverts on the Baramati branch with the
Pune - BRMT passenger. As evident from the from the twin brake
pipes, this rake and most of the PA - DD and PA - BRMT passengers
are now converted to air brakes. |

The KJM baldie WDM2C # 14047 hauled the 6430 from SBC till PA.
Now it is ready to depart for Mumbai after a 10 minute halt. My

Details of the 14047. The loco has ordinary stool-type seats
but with left hand driving position. |

Here is the 14047 hauling the 6530 on another day,
however this time it is long hood leading. The 6529/30 is diesel
hauled all the way between Mumbai and SBC on both the up and down
journeys. |
