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.

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.

Indrayani exp with a similar liveried Jumbo is the ultimate fantasy of any diesel lover

Any idea if :

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

Looks as if the Jumbo has shut one eye.

Nimish , there is a Disel to Diesel , Pune WDMx to an indefinite WDMx loco change at Pune station. The loco going out with 1022 brings in the 1021. If the same loco takes the Karjat Passenger to Karjat that day , then there will be another Pune WDMx which will get attached to 1022 on the same day night , which inturn will again bring in the 1021 next morning.
