Amazing location with double bascule bridge (make sure to turn down volume):

*is that an Alco?  Long train typical of India.

Sort of...rather an Indian-built (Diesel Locomotive Works, Varanasi) copy of an Alco export model. The Indians have hundreds of these locos.

As Nick says, a locally-built copy of an Alco World-series DL560. A bloke I know has kit bashed a couple of these from the AR Kits NSWGR 45 class models, they look great.

 

Cheers,

That's a loooooong bridge. Pretty awesome, but I suppose they halt operations when there is a bit of a storm. Makes me wonder how many times that bridge could have been washed away...
