Pawan - the first recorded visit of a WDP-4 to Mumbai Central was way back in 2003 for testing the new LHB rake of the Mumbai Rajdhani. WDP-4 #20000 had visited Mumbai at that time.

A WDP-4 had also hauled this train (12996/12995) in Nov 2011 when the AC conversion of BVI-VLP was carried out.

You can find the photos on the IRFCA Gallery.

Overall, I must say that WR folks had planned it out quite well.

Nice one. The first train to enter in AC Power with electric locomotive to Mumbai without any block problem. It passed Kelve Road at 110kph flat at 16:30hrs.

This cannot be Kutch Express. Kutch came directly with diesel link of with Vatva WDM-3A # 18627. Video for the same will be coming soon on my YT channel "acpatel5". As per Date and Time seen above this seems to be Sayaji Nagari Express. Please correct if I'm wrong.

Dear Aditya, even I am excited but kindly note after sometime the unform livery of WCAM2P with LHB rajdhani will be lost once WAP5/WAP7 will take charge. WAP5/WAP7 will never ever be able to match the charm of WCAM2P.
