Nice coverage. Nice to see a 3 phase loco in Mumbai. But sorry to say WAP5 cannot match the charm and beauty of WCAM2P. LHB livery WCAM2P with LHB rajdhani was just unbeatable. I still have 4-5 videos left of WCAM2P with King. Will upload them once I get fast net connectivity.

While I thank my namesake for this shot... could not help but mention that the knife in my heart just went a lil bit deeper.. (bye bye dc in WR)

This is an Epic picture!

I hope white locos will scorch the tracks on left in not so distant future. Read in TOI last year that CR is planning to finish its traction conversion by mid 2013.

Call it an irony but the first city to see electric traction is the last among 4 Metropolitan cities to see a 3 phase AC loco. But as they say "Der aaye par Durust aaye".

NB: Maybe WRs BRC ELS should have spared a spanking new 30045/46 for the occasion.

congrats Mumbai for this historic change..and great pic Vivek..

Hey - Even the WR officials seem to be as excited as all of us Rail fans.

Dawn of new era.... Good capture Dhairya...

Why is it called FIRANGI?

The man in the blue shirt is actually holding a newspaper in front of his face to protect himself from the wind and the dust. Must have never seen this loco before, and poor fellow, he missed seeing it on its maiden run into Mumbai.
