When did Jawahar get the new WAP4 type windscreens?

Why is the flasher tilting ? Is it fixed little ahead ?

It would have been nice if it was painted in WAP3 livery.

Nice catch. Its like both of them discussing 'dekthe hai, yahaan se kaun pehle nikalta hai'!

Jawahar seems to be full of energy. It is showing it's anger to red warrior by emitting white smoke from it's ventilator besides the horn.

22005 was heading the Alappuzha passenger on 29th evening... I saw it at ERS, while I was traveling from ALLP to IJK by 6042...

22005 looks very dirty on its sides. And the numbering and the loco class are painted very small which makes its front profile look extremely plain!!! Overall it doesn't match anywhere near the paint job of the 'Sapthagiri' 22001. Ironically both belonging to AJJ!

Photograph of Jawahar in Jan 2009, just after transfer to AJJ from GZB.

As pointed by Ashwin, I too think Jawahar was painted in haste. The paint job could have got more better.

The SPJ livery is fine but somehow the WAP1 doesn't look monstrous as it's window design is completely changed. Anyways nice capture Jimmy.

Gowri, Jawahar always had these windscreens. They are not as large as the standard WAP4 size though.

Arzan; SPJ is the station code for Samastipur and not Sapthagiri.

Thanks Sid. Sorry for the error.

This Jawahar looks horrible. Check out the loco in original Shatabdi livery - http://www.irfca.org/gallery/Locos/Electric/wap1_3_6/wap1_jawahar_taj_exp.jpg.html .

Excellent!
Both are Outstanding Haulers!,
22389 is a Regular T.N exp hauler and 22005 is an Ex HWH Raj hauler.

Agree with Mani that it looks horrible. It seems it suffering from swine flu.
