Cammell Laird was a ship building company too!

Any idea if :

1) This loco has been spotted with Indrayani express regularly?
2) The same loco draws the train right from / to Solapur?

Alok, agree with you that trains hit good speeds around Nagpur. But today TN and also Rajdhanis halt at Nagpur. In 1985, TN used to skip Nagpur station. That's what I had mentioned.

Also we know that the newer generation will very soon take over the road number currently used by the older generation.

Great to see 2 generations of locos in a sigle snap. The LP's acknowledgement is a great capture.

Thanks for this photo Ujjwal. Some things to note: The ROB seems to be in the process of getting a whitewash for the first time in several years when this photo was taken. You can see the remaining portion almost completely black with soot ;-). Arzan, TN and many high priority trains blast through the city at very good speeds even today - the yard has a fairly efficient layout for north-south trains arriving and departing from Platforms 1 and 2, thus reducing hold-ups seen at many large stations.
