Indian version of Lok 2000 ( SBB-CFF-FFS Re 460 ), known in IR as WAP-5 have become very common in my state with electrification of Konkan Railways. Once it was a rarity to spot a WAP-5.
PYTHON freight trains are two priority freight trains coupled as a single formation bound for same destination or may get decoupled where the destination route changes. In this picture, there is another coal train attached to this train. Such trains run in priority as they cant be put in siding or even in mainline due to their length. So these freight trains are treated as priority ones and move fast to their destinations. Python rake consists of 140 + wagons and looks like a snake. Currently python freights are successfully operated from Sambalpur in Odisha to Waltair division of East Coast Railways (ECoR) which is a coal movement route.

Khasa station in India - Pakistan border is the station just before Attari station, the last station on Indian side and after that the track goes to Pakistan. Indian Railways operates two service from Amritsar to Attari. One in the morning and one the evening and the journey is completed in 40 minutes. Earlier there was regular train service between India and Pakistan. Its termini were Lahore in Pakistan and Delhi in India. The border crossing took place between Wagah in Pakistan and Attari in India. Initially, this was a thorough service with the same rake going all the way between the termini; later the Pakistani rake stopped at Attari at which point passengers had to change trains. Customs and immigration clearances take place at Attari. Train services were stopped many times due to political and security reasons. On 8 August 2019, the service was suspended by Pakistan following the revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir by the Parliament of India and services never restored. After that only two DMU services to Attari from Amritsar. Customs and immigration services were closed at Attari.

Chennai Egmore - Nagercoil Jn VANDE BHARAT Express, covering a distance of 727 kms in 9 hours has become the fastest connection between South and North of Tamilnadu state. Vande Bharat Express has ushered in a new era of comfort and safe semi-high speed travel in India. I find it better that sleeper trains. Thanks to Mr. Sudhanshu Mani, the man behind the concept of Vande Bharat Express and the visionary leadership of Hon. Prime minister of India, Narendra Modi who gave whole hearted support to Vande Bharat Express. Even though summer season has begun, Nagercoil is always green and windy. And the lush green surroundings gave a perfect setting to capture the Vande Bharat Express.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II with L series lens became part of my camera family after my first R series camera, Canon EOS R 10. My first train click with new cam is legendry MALABAR Express with ERODE DLS WAP-4 on perfect sunny morning. I really loved the result in the first and I believe that there is lots of features to be tapped in the coming days.
