One of the nine dedicated painters giving final touches to this gleaming old brute for its "inauguration" on 17-4-2009. Note those extended metal brackets for MU connectors. (poochivenkat)

A wild guess - this livery looks quite similar to that of the coaches of Garib Rath.
Perhaps the South Railway is thinking of to deploy this loco to GR.

Looks so much like the WAP-3 locomotive but in a different colour. (http://www.irfca.org/gallery/Locos/Electric/wap1_3_6/WAP3_22005KanpurCentral28-2-92.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1)

They've gone about painting the Compartment Oval windows also alternatively!
Is this the only WAP1 to get this Livery?

What a stunning livery!

The WAG-5/7 type MU cables destroy the aero-dynamic shape of the P-1/4 Series nose, but for the push pull operation, they are necessary. Could not have they have done the same recessed type of MU arrangement of the earlier P-3's?

This is a great livery. At least much better from the standard red and yellow. will make this beast more photogenic.

This livery is gonna rock, but I think paint job is not up to the mark compared to other AJJ wappies. It can be much much better.
