Favorite shed

WAP-4 from ERODE shed was my favorite electric loco as they were reliable with less failure and hauled many long distance trains

Efficient WDP-4D

One of the efficient & reliable WDP-4D in PONMALAI shed when I spotted it now transferred to ERNAKULAM shed

39000 hunt over

Climbing a gradient

For the freight class ALCo it must have been nothing with the small load of passenger train to climb that small gradient

Evening light
