@Pawan- Did you see UP Deccan Express 1008?
As DOWN Deccan 1007 was hauled by WCAM-3

Effect of gradient is much felt here in this cropped pic.

Yes Hrishikesh, actually we had lots of discussion on these both trains Ahimsa and Pune-Indore.
So, it was a confusion for me.

Abhishek, no official confirmation of WCG2's getting scrapped. LP's have made a demand for a WCAM3 for the 1007/1008 for the sake of schedule upkeep!! 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.

Always nice to see a loco carrying the name board of its train. It gives that 'special' feeling to a railfan like me!

Good work... Nice pics indeed!

There's lot of fluctuation except, DQ, Pragati & Intercity Express. Kanyakumari Exp. is another example of a fluctuating link between WCG 2 and WCAM 3.
@ Jatin - If that is the case, it seems few more WCG 2 units have been scrapped. The last time I saw Deccan Express with WCG 2 was on 1st Jan 2009 in Up Direction.
@ Pawan, if you could have provided a pic, this would have been a raremost spotting.

@ deepak murali--
To be precise the gradient starts at km 103/1.

How come Ahimsa Exp in daytime.. this is Pune - Indore Exp.
Is the timing shown in Exif correct?
