Kolkata2Kutch Roadtrip: Orchha Railway Station Crossing

Imagine my excitement of finally being in a traffic pile up and then noticing it's a Railway Crossing 10 cars ahead. So I switched off the car and made a quick dash to the crossing. When I got there, I noticed on the left was Orchha Railway Station and standing there was a Passenger Train with a beautiful WDG-4 Diesel Locomotive. It's not uncommon in these kind of terrain to find WDGs & WDMs pulling passenger trains.

So while a got a couple of shots, I realised by the signals that this train was not going to move as it was waiting for a clear line; there was a train going to be arriving from the opposite direction. Oh the sheer excitement of capturing two Locos in one stop.

Sure enough, a a couple of minutes came blasting a Blue WDM-3 Diesel Locomotive pulling a passenger train.

 The Moment I was waiting for; to capture boto locomotives in one frame as one crosses the other.

 Finally after a couple of loud blasts of it's horn, this loco revved up and pulled out of the station.

Finally as it pulled away, I headed back to the car.
