The loco was in some blue livery earlier once its nose was modified. It hauled the Nagpur-Pune express (the old one) on inauguration. I remember Alok putting some pictures of that.

Nice renovation..!!! Looks like the front of the loco is inspired from a sparrow's beak....

This loco had derailed at BD last week. It was light and negotiating points. A crushed stone was held responsible.

Had seen this 'pregnant' loco with a train bound for NZM from KOP at MTJ. I was on the NZM-bound Golden Temple Mail, and we were leaving MTJ. It was 4th October 2006!!

It had the same livery and beak-like look then as well!!!
