wood finish...hanging palace lights...mirrors and seat covers makes it even more better than the modern day luxury trains!!

Fabulous image. Could the photographer identify himself/herself please?

Beautiful indeed. I don't think any of our present day so called 'luxury trains' will ever be able to create this kind of ambiance again. We've lost all sense of aesthetic over the years.

Nice..reminds me of my childhood and the swishing sound it makes and the cooocoooo whistle..thanks

2x1 simply luxury....table in the centre wow. wooden interiors. Maharaja style indeed. is that the chair for an attendant?

Equally nice & spacious like Palace on Wheels. It's an all time classic vintage pic. Sir, many thanks for sharing such pictures.

It was the up Deccan express towards Mumbai. I was in Pune after a long time, hence didn't know that such a spotting would be a rare experience. I was under the impression that most trains on the Pune-Mumbai route get WCG2s. Also the station was Khadki and not SVJR with a RPF guy on the patrol hence could not risk taking out the camera!

WCM-1 was full black with a red strip..

This WCM-5 livery was dark brown with a yellow strip till late 80's...watch movie DEEWAR(1975) of Amitabh for first 45 min,there is a small shot of this loco hauling a train

But many a mile to go before I stop and rest. This one immediately took out the Konkan Kanya on the 10th and returned with the KK on Sunday 11th.
