This is sort of a Diwali Special video, but whether it is Diwali special or not, it is indeed a special and rare one for me as a railfan. This is an unpublished video from the archives - It was such a rare occasion when a loco pilot himself came out of a moving locomotive and shares a smile with me while I was taking pictures of his locomotive! It was such a kind gesture and was very very much appreciated.

The concerned locomotive we are talking about was a GONDA locomotive, details about the loco and Gonda shed can be found on my previous blog post here.

You can watch this special video here in the video thumbnail below:

However please excuse me for the video quality. This is an old video as I mentioned above, taken with the old camera which is already retired and replaced with a better one. The same loco that came in to Shalimar with the freight train can be viewed in the video thumbnail below, and you can read that old blog post here. Another loco pilot of the same loco was spotted watching me as well! Here goes the related one:
