Silent Tiger Attack - AJNI's Tiger WAG7 Appears With A Freight Train

I had a short work trip to Bhubaneswar last week. Since Mahashivaratri had fallen during the trip, I had two days off (13th and 14th). On 13th decided to visit Mukteshwar Shiva temple which is adjacent to the Mukteshwar Railway station (MKTP) under East Coast Railway zone. If you can see the video linked below, you can hear Sanskrit chants coming out of the temple.

This is a small station, actually a halt, and is served by a very few trains. I was stuck there for almost 8 hours unfortunately as there were no trains in between to Bhubaneswar and the scheduled ones were late by several hours.

While I was at the station, counting hours there was some nice oppertunities to spot trains. It was good especially as I had to wait for a long time there. AJNI WAG7 (no. 27184, Tigerface Livery) appeared first, silently with a freight train loaded with shipping containers.

Watch the tiger face livery loco coming in, here:
