Welcome to Jaipur
Two scenes are being played out in this shot of Jaipur Junction taken in 2016. On the left are the last remnants of metre-gauge operations in the region, with Alco YDM-4 unit 6637 readying to depart with the 4.00pm passenger to Sikar Junction (train 02089), some 107 km away.
Everything to the right of the YDM-4 is broad-gauge, with WDM-2A unit 16869 in shot working the 4:15pm Daily Superfast service to Bikaner Junction (train 12468).
Sadly, this isolated pocket of MG has since closed with the route currently undergoing conversion to broad gauge.
