Home > Meetings > ISRS field trip to Farukhnagar. - Nov 2000



Garhi Harsaru Jn: the Delhi Sarai Rohilla - Farukhnagar pass waits on the right for signals to clear as the Udaipur - Delhi Chetak express hurtles past! Both trains have YDM4's in charge.


Token exchange between driver of loco 6623 and token man!


ISRS members on the right watch the train go past after having captured the token exchange sequence with their cameras.


The Garhi-Farukhnagar branch line as seen from the loco.
Max speed on this section 20 kmh!


Level crossing enroute..


John Lacey checks his camera equipment while Mani explores the Farukhnagar station building.


Not seen clearly in this image, but the rails on the platform were as old as 1898 with RMR & BB&CI inscribed on them;
Built by Baron & co of England!


The ride back from Farukhnagar, this time on top of the coaches!!


And finaly, a different form of footplating!
