What a difference the paint job has made to the baldie. The '51 used to haul the JS (and Netravati too) while it roosted at Erode. ERS still believes in calling their powers as WDM 2C - they had a chance to make amends while the loco was being repainted.

Did you notice the berths stacked up at Karanjadi Station!!! A very sad sight indeed!

You are right! ERS locos power 7 out of 15 expresses on KR while ED, the erstwhile 'dynasty' now powers just 2 (6333/35) and that too requires confirmation. But passengers are ED powered!
