Note the carriage filling water gantry.
The 412 Down departs from Morbi Jn.

How much of steam can the YG 4252 produce ? This is the effervescent start of the 412 Dn. Although the loco is putting on such a great show, the rake is just about moving. I am still on the ground, walking with the rake, as is evident from my shadow. |
|
The rake starts crawling and I get on the train. Note that the train is
starting off the platform, no passenger seems to mind. For that matter, there were no
fellow passengers in the entire train to mind ! Note the carriage filling water gantry. |
|
A couple of spectacular and loud strokes later, the rake struggles a couple of meters ahead. The morning chill holds the white wet vapour cloud with the moving loco. Regrettably there were three tankers between us rail nuts and the aggressive loco. |
