Very clean LGD WAP-4# 22606 taking rest at Mumbai Central. The locos behind LGD WAP-4 are BRC WAP-4# 22813, BL WCAM-1# 21845, BR
Anamitra, you are right, its an offlink today. RPM and ED WAP-4's are regular links for Chennai Jaipur Superfast. Along with BRC WAP-4E's, we will now be seeing GZB, RPM and ED WAP4 too. Today crimson red coloured GZB WAP-4# 22334 took charge of 12953 August Kranti Rajdhani. Just looking fabulous with LHB raj livery.

What is the loco link of Chennai Jaipur Superfast? Isn't it RPM/ED? If so, that train itself got an offlink.

Hemang Jani is travelling by 12955 today to Surat. LGD WAP4 22606 is the power.

One reason for the WCAM1's MPS of 100 kmph is its length - higher speeds causes it to vibrate. This was told to me by a railway official many years back.

Mumbai - DC to AC Conversion, February 5, 2012
Totally agree with Sachin and Akshay. Indeed it feels so weird; until the day of conversion it was WCAMx with all our fav trains. And suddenly, very next day entire landscape has changed. Feels I'm away from home..

Now, even ADI bound trains are getting WAPx. Goodbye WCAM1/2 for all the priceless memories, you will never be forgotten.. :)

Mumbai - DC to AC Conversion, February 5, 2012
Agree with you Sachin. The WCAM-1s and 2s will be sorely missed. I have mixed feelings regarding these AC locos. After being used to seeing these workhorses (WCAMx) for my entire life, it feels extremely weird to suddenly see the WAPs in Mumbai. Somehow they just don't seem to fit in!

The panto would have taken a very sharp sleeping posture at the Elphinstone Road bridge! Welcome AC in MumbaI.

Kharad , the neutral zone structure on the OHE above the turnouts is similar to the one at Diva and AC-DC locos face no problem in negotiating those turnouts at Diva . I wonder why such restriction is imposed here .
