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!

WCAM3 will now be a regular even on the Deccan Express, especially 1008. 1007 may still toggle between a WCG2 and a WCAM3, but preference to WCAM3 will be there for the train henceforth.
