Steam Halt

It’s hot in here. I am not sure if the sun has had a faulty alarm clock, but it surely is out with much force in the past few days. It’s not quite a great time to go steam hopping. Most of Rajasthan and Gujrat etc will be baked to carbon. This is the lean period. This is the time when people realise that steam locomotives are no fun sometimes. We long for the air-conditioned coach. Or budget airlines. We don’t feel like travelling but remain motionless under cool roofs, and cold glass. There might not be much to write about in this month – in fact for the succeeding few months. There isn’t much happening on the loco front. No news at all. So will sign off for now. Cheers!
