12th August 2014, Suddenly in the afternoon huge black clouds gathered in a very few time and all of a sudden it started raining with lightening and thunderstorms. Now this was the moment I was waiting for. I Immediately picked up my camera bag and umbrella and reached Bhilai Power House station.
It was windy that evening and the showers were very strong that the water was getting sprinkled inside the platform too.
I opened my umbrella and was sitting, and the starter was red. 
But I saw an approaching train from West end. 
Seen here are Elegant looking Asansol [ASN] WAG-5A # 23180 and 23185 slowing down due to danger starter signal at platform-1 with BCNA rake in tow.
As they reach nearby the LC gate closes and the starter turns green and they start accelerating back again.
Its such a majestic site to see these workhorses working in such a difficult situations of heavy rains where visibility is very poor.
