Sheer piece of timing and luck produces such shots ! WCAM-2P's in action. Notice some of the nerds where actually footplating the loco(back of the loco) while it blasts off at a speed of nearly 80-90 kmph. I have never seen this stunts except on WCG-2's

Old livery Vs the New livery : Well, we have seen Old Raj liveried loco hauling new Raj liveried train. This is exactly the opposite! AK Rajdhani hauled by a LHB liveried WCAM-2P on a curve at the Vaitarna station. Vaitarna, 2005-01. By Sachin Balwatkar.

BL’s WCAM2 21862 at Pune. Normally, WCAM1s do the honors for trains going from Pune towards Western Railway. This WCAM2P seems to be an one-off case. 11-11-2005

21869

WR's Pseudo-LHB WCAM2 #21869 deep in CR. This loco crossed by EMU between Ghatkopar and Bhandup and was hauling a long tanker rake. I saw the same loco in the evening at Kurla.

21867-2954

WCAM2 #21867 from Valsad speeds past Vasai Road station (and a few camera-wielding nuts!) with the Mumbai Central bound August Kranti Express. The roar of the EOGs were heard much before the Loco actually appeared!

21868-TNA

WCAM2 #21868 pulls into Thane with a very long Tanker rake. The starter had just turned to double-yellow as the loco closed in.
