Dr E Sreedharan is my Hero.
I had one of his pictures in my hostel room during my undergraduate days while other normal guys had bollywood actresses posters.
But if you read career of that guy, it is full of achieving goals others thought plain impossible. Konkan Railways, Rehabilitation of Pamban bridge, then Delhi Metro (he won not only against time set by Japanese Lenders but also our single digit IQ politicians).
In my mind, He is one of the few great Indian Engineers who chose to stay in India to make life a little better for an ordinary Indian.

Some Repaint work by me :cheesy:

22649 is with AJJ (Arrakonnam) not Erode:-)
 
22649 is of ED. The IRFCA Loco DataBase says.

Just took the spray-paint mode and started scribbling :-D
My intention was to make those locos shine. Because if find it little dusted. So i gave it an Artificial POH xD.

Yup personal hero of mine as well.

Back when NDTV was watchable:


Also..BBC did a nice documentary on konkan railways i watched a while back:


The rest of that series all around the world was pretty good too if you have some free time. I especially enjoyed the Australia outback one (I think there were a few seasons with the same guy but I'm not sure).

There was also a documentary where they extensively went through Sreedharan efforts in Konkan railway but I cannot seem to find it in a quick search.
 
Chris Tarrant.
Watch the episode on Congo jungle railways.

Already did....like I said I watched it all when it came out initially hehe. I remember the congo one as the one where he was stuck in the middle of that tunnel right in the middle of the african jungle hehehe. Kind of experience I doubt anyone can forget.

Well I guess you are up to date on all the main rail documentaries. Why am I not surprised :D

I too watched that documentary on Konkan Railways, At the end, hes in my Home station Mangalore Central :D

You are mangalorean kannadiga? I am jealous :D Such a beautiful place. Love udipi cuisine :)

This my favorite Buns. There are many shops near my house which sells this.
