Great pic sir. The sun falling on the face of the loco enhances the beauty of it!

Thats a soooper pic, Arzan bhai. This is indeed the best pic of WCAG 1 I have ever seen. And it has rear view mirrors too. A feature common in all WCAG 1's?

WCAG-1 locos are dual-braked(Air+Vacuum)and are regularly used for this type of train because they are vacuum braked.As they need to run in AC as well as DC territory on the Central Railway,they need a dual-power loco.These locos are either attached at Valsad or Udhna.

Lovely shot Arzie... you have promoted WCAG-1 in right way.

Good shot! But my notion is, this train is moving into Mumbai city and not to JNPT. There is a scheduled run of this rake every afternoon towards Mumbai. We spotted this rake almost every time we went to Saphale.

Arzan , grrr8 shot !!!
Lovely Colours on the WCAG-1 , I hope this would have hauled by a colourful container rake.

long time and now a perfect pic of a clean WCAG1. good shot!!

Nice shot. Excellent contrast between the clean colourful loco and the dull dirty rake behind it.
Any idea as to why an AC/DC loco was being used on a fully AC section?
