I haven't seen a lot of Indian video, but yes indeed, this is well done. Notable is the amount of smoke from the diesels. I recall the phrase "honorary steam locomotive" which some US railfans used for the Alco PA diesels of the era about 1950. The phrase might be useful to the Indian railfan community! Also, most of the track is jointed (not welded) rail. I wonder if we might be seeing signs that maintenance and upgrades are being minimized in anticipation of conversion of the line to the Indian broad gauge.
