| Remarks: Two members of the Mumbai Railfans enjoy our universal hobby as a "freighter" slows for the required stop at Vasai Road. The locomotive, a Chittaranjan Locomotive Works model WAG-5 is adorned in what is known as the "Barbie Doll" livery due to its resemblence to a Barbie dress. The WAG-5 was first introduced in 1984, is 3,850 horsepower, six axle, and one of the more popular freight motors that I saw in India. |

Interesting photo...interesting to see fellow railfans, from other countries included in this image. That signal mast sure would be confusing to look at during foggy conditions...since those lights are so small looking. |

Just looking at that photo I can just imagine how hard it must be an engineer in that country...There is so many distractions in the photo; All of the overhead wires, the lights, the bars over the lead engines window, all of the switches, and smog on top of that. This is a very good shot, Charles and it also captures some of the poorer quality of living, such as the shack right beside the tracks with an elderly man sitting on a crate. Very good shot. |
