Pics of  Dahinsara Jn.

Image90.jpg (65497 bytes) The loco has a well deserved watering halt at Dahinsara Jn. A spur of line goes down to Navlakhi just after this spot, that is where the table salt comes from the salt pans.
Image91.jpg (66185 bytes) More detailed pic of the loco showing the missing smoke deflector and the tempting perch on the buffer beam, which we did ride for a section.
Image92.jpg (65131 bytes) The linkage gets lovingly cared for during this break.
Image93.jpg (52764 bytes) We rode the loco everywhere, in the cab, hanging off the buffer beam when moving tender foremost, when moving forward and in the tender. This is the view from the tender thundering towards the Dahinsara Jn.
Image94.jpg (45688 bytes) One more shot looking towards the front as the loco pounds its noisy way to Dahinsara.  I stand ankle deep in the coal and cut the clear morning air feeling a bit like the famous scene in the Titanic, hanging off the bow.
Image95.jpg (30651 bytes) A view aft, over the cab and the rake.
