Kolkata2Kutch Roadtrip: WDG-4 Double Heading over the Mahanadi River at Sambalpur

As we crossed were crossing the Mahanadi River on Burla Bridge (Mumbai-Kolkata Highway) just before Sambalpur after visiting the awesome Hirakud Dam, I heard the loud horn of the approaching train. I quickly pulled over and as the train approached managed to capture these pictures of the Double Header WDG-4 Locomotives pulling a long consist of wagons carrying coal. The reason for the Double Heading is the Hilly terrain in the regain.

In the background I also managed to capture the crane working on the new Truss & Girder railway bridge.
