Fresh out of my camera. Took this pic yesterday at National Railways Museum in Chankya Puri at New Delhi. Incase, if you are wondeing what I was doing there, well having fun with my nephew and niece (Vyom & Gungun). I have always been fascinated with Trains, so understandably this is one of my favorite place, right from kid days. Talking about my fascination with railways, i have travelled almost all across India in Trains including some of the famous and most picturise routes of Konkan Railways (Ticket in Rajdhani but spent all time sitting on door cuz of views), Kalka-Shimla, Darjeeling etc.
About this pic:- (Wheels of EM-922 Locomotive from back low angle, focus: centre wheel)
EM -922(NWR) : This glamorous locomotive which had the proud privilege of hauling VIP & Royal trains in the past also adapted itself by changing its name matching the diginitary it carried. It changed names from "Lord Clyde" to "Roosevelt" to "Queen Empress". This locomotive which hauled passenger trains on the Great Indian Penensula & North Western Systems was converted to super-heated type in 1922 and was rebuilt in 1914 at the Mughalpura workshops when its classification was changed from E-1 ton EM.
Year Built : 1907
Maker : North British Loco Co.,Atlas Works, Glasgow
Railway : Great Indian Penensula Railway

And on a photo blog!!
And on a brilliant picture!!!
I love trains too D...one of my most memorable train journeys spanned three days each one way, and my friend and I sat on the steps of the train throughout the going and returning journey. It was the most awesome experience ever. Especially when we were on bridges. Your picture reminded me of that unforgettable experience...thank you.
fantastic...
the magic created by the post processing !!!
lage raho deepu bhai !!!
should say the selective coloring has added the twist
your picture does full justice to the classic.

I dont even think being there would have been better... great work on the selective coloring...

Deepak, Thanks for visiting my website ... and to answer your query on blogrolling - SURE!!! I'll be honored ....
good pic! and of course the way selective coloring has been done its really nice!
Considering I have never travelled as much, err, infact never.. Trains have been really weird and highly uninteresting experiences except that college trips have been the most fun!

Wonderful post processing.. suits the image.. the board is an eye-sore.. Railways must have spent a lot to make it look designer-like ;-)

I kind of like the tracks more than the trains...the way they seem to meet...tell you so much about life...
