This is the Vapi - Virar Shuttle, whose entire two day itinerary reads as follows : on day 1 BDTS - Vapi - Virar - Surat and on day 2 Surat - Virar - Valsad - BDTS. Therefore it always gets a WCAM-1. The other shuttle service runs in pure AC territory Dahanu - Virar - Surat - Virar - Bharuch - Virar - Dahanu and gets the WAM-4.

Ranjeet, only the early morning Virar Bharuch Shuttle and the Bharuch Virar Shuttle which arrives at Virar at 21:30hrs gets a BRC WAM4. Sometimes it gets a WAP4 if WAM4 has gone for a maintenance job.

Nice shot, with the imposing mountains in the background. Note the extremely rich colour of the front SLR.
