Another sight from the past. The 1078 Jhelum exp with a clean GZB WAP1 22010 rounds the curve to join the lines from Rohilla. Jhelum has switched to GZB WAP4 now. The place is Pulbangash and the overhead line is for the metro.

All Whites: NDLS trip shed is painted white with the presence of 2 WAP7s and the modified WAP1 #22021 'Babasaheb' from Ghaziabad. Is the WAP1 bigger than the WAP7 or is it just the angle?. New Delhi, 20/06/2005. Shashanka.
