New work..
After back to back sketches of diesel trains, I tried an electric. The overhead catenary jungle is too irritating to the eyes!
Seen here is Howrah WAP5 35009 hauling...
more... the New Jalpaiguri - Howrah Shatabdi Express, zipping past Prantik.
I clicked this during my visit to Shantiniketan back in August.
Once this used to be the fastest diesel hauled train of India, with an average running speed of 72km/h and the first diesel train to touch a speed of 130km/h. Now on electric, it lost its uniqueness. Never mind, they call it development.
Pardon any mistakes.
