I wish they don't scrap the WAM4's. Instead why don't they get it at Igatpuri - Bhusaval section. It will certainly add colours to the section.

Oh, God! Is this the end of the Sapthagiri-liveried WAM4?

I am glad to see my favourite loco given a different paint job. It looks far better in this livery than the present looking GZB & AJJ WAP1 and equally gorgeous like the dark grey WAP1 Jawahar of the 80's and 90's.

Manish, it's MPS is 130kph but it has hauled 9 coach Bhopal Shatabdi at 140kph too. Railfans have footplated it and have experienced the 140kph run.

Nice colour scheme. The red at the bottom adds the perfect finish.

@Arzan : Is this loco capable of 140 kmph?
Posted by Manish on 2009 Apr 17 13:31:48 +0100
Thanks for the WAP1 coverage Poochi. It looks simply looks gorgeous and this loco should be assigned to 2001A/2002A Bhopal Shatabdi Express. How lovely it will look zipping pasts stations at 140kph.

Welcome change! YES,
But Sob! i will surely miss the Elite WAM4's> 20613,21374,20508! etc

It is welcome :) but feel sorry for WAM-4, it must be hurt. Sob!!! :(

Looks incomplete without the lightning strikes. Thanks Poochi for giving them the reminder!

The Sapthagiri livery looks really good on WAP1.It will be nice to see the MAS TPTY Sapthagiri Express being hauled by WAP1 after being hauled by WAM4 for so many years. Thanks for sharing the photographs.
