Dear Srini. I think diesel powered shuttle trains were run when the motormen went on strike in 2010/11. I envy the commuters on the catwalk of the diesel loco. What a ride they would have had :)

Pawan - the first recorded visit of a WDP-4 to Mumbai Central was way back in 2003 for testing the new LHB rake of the Mumbai Rajdhani. WDP-4 #20000 had visited Mumbai at that time.

A WDP-4 had also hauled this train (12996/12995) in Nov 2011 when the AC conversion of BVI-VLP was carried out.

You can find the photos on the IRFCA Gallery.
