Capturing the big daddy, is a tough job, n quite a rare scene for Rail fan who visits Visakhapatnam.
Its like an achievement for an outsider to capture this 26 year old locomotive.

They will live a bit more longer now.
So better plan n come here.
Spotting the ABB's n the Hitachi is quite tough as their schedule is unknown.
These act as the Braker/Banker to the freights in Ghats n also for the Jumbo(Python) Freights now a days.

Not so clear image, but edited a bit, to remove the noise.

The two WAG-6A's start off towards Gopalapatnam Cabin side, after RJY bound PASS clears the path for them.
Being a low light, the mobile camera managed to take a low quality pic of the 26 year locos.
