Vivek, I agree with you. I wish they had converted these beauties to pure AC locos just like WCM6 is done.

Truly Platinum!
Notice the entire stretch of Wooden sleepers too!
Though i am not familiar with the Mumbai-Pune region, It gives me joy to see the Wooden sleepers, Vacuum braked rake and the massive Loco!

Typically Mumbai ambience in the picture with the WCM 2 on lead.

Wow!!! Great. I remember this livery as i have traveled on the Deccan express used to be hauled by these locos. How long did this livery last?

This is the class of loco which had hauled my Deccan express from Pune to Kalyan way back in 1993(I had uploaded scanned images of that earlier).Nostalgic feeling...This resembles more like WDM1.

Originals at its best.

I use to call these locos as "Ambassador" in my childhood.
Thanks Dr. Yande and ashish for uploading.
These locos have very sweet memories etched with me.
