Spotting ALCos

Lucky to capture most of the ALCo links in this route as these trains which were supposed to pass this location at 0600 hrs, were running late

WDM-3D + WDM-3A

ALCo combo of WDM-3D and WDM-3A seems to be an efficient pair for this Rajdhani Express to maintain speed and time

Dual ALCo

Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and Dynamic Brake Resistors (DBR) fitted ALCos have a different look in when they approach in short hood lead

Disappointment

With much anticipation waited for my first shot of Double Decker train but those carriages were in the rear of the train to my disappointment

Quaint Suravali

Past 6 years I come to this station every year to watch pure diesel traction in the midst of nature with huge banyan and mango trees

Again Blue beauty

On my last day in Goa, rarely spotted BLUE WDP-4B appears again in front of my cam with Kulem bound passenger, entering Madgaon

Original WDG-4

Friendly wave

Engineer, who is a friend of mine waves at me as he takes Madgaon Rajdhani Express to its final destination with dual ALCo power

Endless freight train

Petrol freight train powered by HUBBALI WDG-4 pair appears like an endless freight train as passes through lush green Majorda

On Rescue Mission

Due to oil leak, the original power KALYAN WDM-3D failed on the way and GOOTY WDG-4 pair rescues the train but delayed by two hours

39000 hunt over

First WAP-7 of 39XXX series from Diesel-Loco Modernisation Works was elusive to my cam for almost an year but finally captured it

Rarely spotted HCPV

Passenger carriages converted to parcel vans after welding windows known as High Capacity Parcel Van (HCPV), a rarely spotted freight

Bleed blue

BLUE loco, carriages and sky in the lush green Suravali and my long time wish of spotting this blue KRISHNARAJAPURAM WDP-4B came true
