I appreciate your effort in speedily updating the AC electrification map. Great job.

CR can convert these locos to work in AC mode as it has been done with WCM6 so that these locos will still remain in duties with their old class WCG2.

Yes indeed it is.

Well, Im sure we'll see these locos at Kalyan and also in Mumbai for some more time, as AC might not make it beyond Badlapur before next year I guess.

Is this the Chennai express?

Well, I was there when the siding near platform 1 was constructed sometime between 2000 - 2002. Earlier the bankers used to be stationed on the lines between platform 1 and 2, and used to move only when the train towards Pune pulled in platform 1. This extension tracks were laid to minimize the time the train had to spend at Karjat. I will always remembers the hum of these locos as they a part of my daily life from 1999 to 2003.

This photograph is just so emotional. The 100's of times when I have been at Karjat Platform and a WCAM-3 hauling Deccan Queen entangles around the WCG-2 bankers to enter the platform with its lights on in full glory. Its Just that , I wont see it anymore..........................
