Here are some pictures of my visit.

Picture 2 :- Brand new SRC WAP 7 37152 at KGP. VSKP WAP 7 37154 is too at KGP.
Picture 3 :- PF Shed of Khurda Road. You can see some parts of the shed, ripped off by the cyclone.

Pictures 15 to 21 except 16 and 17 :- My Favourite Special Train's (08403/4) TB pictures. 08403 was powered by ED (DLS) WAG 7 28646.
