A pleasant surprise at Howrah right at the start of the day....

The idle rake of Kalka Mail at PF 8, painted in its new avatar. The rake was not assembled properly, as can be seen in Pics 2 and 3. A3 is before the SLR, and the Sleeper Coaches are from S1 to S11. So, totally jumbled up. Plus, this was not the rake of the Kalka Mail which arrived today morning. This was a totally new rake.

This rake was standstill for around an hour from 8 am. to 9 am. There was a shunter at the front end (as seen in Pic 1) and a HWH WDM-3D at the other end.

Strange to see coaches being shunted to the platform without reason, that too at a railway station as busy as Howrah.
