Coaches were assembled by riveting the sheet metal before the advent of reliable welding practices.

Thanks for this pic Ujjwal. I had been to Nagpur in 1985 and it was exactly in this way. During that time the Tamil Nadu Express zipped past Nagpur at a very high speed. I just can't forget that wonderful moment.

Another gem!

Excellent! It is interesting to see how the coaches were stacked sans the wheels for shipping.

Ujjawal, it is indeed a hardworking Jumbo as after bringing the 1021 to Pune, it was doing the duty of up and down Karjat Pune Passenger. This was spotted by Pritam Koli yesterday.

Many thanks Ashish for capturing it. Hat's off to this 2500hp monster for bringing it on time with a tough time table plus halts of Dadar, Thane, Kalyan and Karjat. I
was pretty sure that 1021 will reach on time since a day earlier 1022 passed Kurla 5 minutes late with additional brake testing halts of Khandala, Monkey Hill and Nagnath.

Can we know who is this gentleman?
It seems bankers are wainting for 6529 Udyan Exp.
