This is one of the rarest photos taken of a GIPR's EA/1 #4003 later reclassified as WCP-1 #20002 DC electric loco being shunted to head the 197 Peshawar Express from VT on its journey to Peshawar in 1935. Wheel arrangement is 1-Co-2. This was taken from an album of a former loco pilot of GIPR, whose family is now based in Australia. It is the 197 Peshawar Express from Bombay (VT) to Peshawar. It left Bombay VT at 2300hrs and reached Peshawar on Day 3 at 0905hrs. This is confirmed by the All India Timetable of 1939. - Senthil Kumar
