Mumbai CST
This class WDS-6AD Co-Co has brought in the empty stock for an express to Howrah (for Kolkata, on the other side of the Hooghly river). The journey is nearly 2,000 km/1,250 miles, and will take over 26 hours.
The electric loco that will take it out will have a job on its hands - 21 vehicles including a baggage-generator car weighing, by my calculations, about 900 tonnes tare. That's what I call a train.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.
