An Alco and Other Stuff In India

I have five more images to share from railfanning in India.

First is of one of the famous Mumbai EMUs coming into the station at Vasai Road. Although it was Sunday, the trains were still very crowded. This was actually one of the emptier ones.

Second is of what is called a "Barbie Doll" with my host railfans taking their photographs in front of me. Have to say, having two Mumbai railfans with me really made me feel much more comfortable.

Next is a shot of a Tower Car, which I was told is sometimes used as a switcher too, when the need arises. Would have liked to have seen that.

And next, was a long passenger train with what the locals call a "Baldie," but what I call an ALCO. It was like going back in time listening to this engine..

Last, a roster shot of the ALCO.

Thanks so much for looking...
