Views of the Wankaner steam shed

	YP 2805 rests in the shed having hauled the 415 Up fast passenger from Morbi. It is being coaled, watered, lubricated and generally secured for the 1815 hrs. departure to Morbi and then to Dahinsara Jn., the 414 Dn. fast passenger.
	The coal is being manually emptied in  tender. The 414 Dn. is the only movement of the rest of the day, so the shed atmosphere is very relaxed.
	The shed contained four locos, all without fire and under repairs. Note the smokebox frame lying outside the shed. It is in place for a long time now, as it is also visible in Bharat's site.
	A view from the top of the ash heaps that is found around the shed. The watering column is visible in the foreground, while the railwaymen's colony is the small houses in the background. The white building near the tree is the driver's running room !
	One more view of the YP 2805. The BG wagons on the right can be seen carrying the white sacks full of table salt. The disused turntable is full of water and located further down this line.
