Thanks for sharing this nostalgic picture, Harsh. My guess is, this EMU is on PF1 of Dadar station. From the shadow of the OHE wire on the face of the EMU and of the rake on the ballast, the time seems to just past noon. I may even hazard a guess about the month as late April.

Wowww, Truly a Gem. And my god, see how long is the coach.... Appears to be much longer, than todays conventional length. How did this got accomodated on turnouts? Thanks Harsh for sharing.

Wonderful!!! Thanks Harshvardhan for sharing with us.

Vijay, It appears to be a longer coach. However, if seen carefully, cab coach ends just after the window next to 4th door (excl cab door). Coach length is more or less same as those seen now.

Does the second coach -the power car, have two pantos, of which one is folded down?

Yes, the earliest power cars in the 3 and 4 coach EMU had single power car with two pantographs. See here and here
