In February 2002, I traveled from Dadar to
Manmad returning back the next day.
Journey in Kasara Ghat was fantastic. We were
in the center track and a double WDM2 headed freight moving in the same
direction on a track to the left of us. She was doing pretty well. When we
slowed down, she would catch up with us. She arrived at Igatpuri just as our
WCAM3 was detached.
If you think he is an Assistant driver in banker pushing a freight rake from
Kasara, here are two hints for you to reconsider. One, he is in leading banker;
two, he is wearing white shirt and white pant.
He is a guard for the freight train. With
double headed and triple headed WCG2 bankers, CR does not use caboose for
freight trains in Ghat sections.
It was a scene Bollywood should consider for a stunt.
Our train as seen from the door.
There she is at Igatpuri. Our rake has not received WAM4 yet. I do not think two
guys (actually three, the third one partially hidden by a pole) in foreground are Rail
fans.

What is "Ekhare" and "Dohare"? Boy, my Hindi is getting
rusty.
WCAM3 is returning towards Kasara end of the platform.
WAM4-6P with twin beam headlight taking over.
A job I would hate to work.
