Here is my capture of the AP Exp. in 1995 while I was in the BPL Shatabdi loco. Led by a fancy looking WAP1, all 21 coaches had a uniform cream-brown livery and it was doing good speed even in heavy train.

I definitely remember seeing Kerala, Karnataka, GT, TN in that livery. I think I saw AP with this livery in 1989 but I could be mistaken.

Sir, I had downloaded all these BPL Shtb & Tamil Nadu Exp videos from your IRFCA Page during my high school days when I had a painfully slow Dial-Up Connection. They were awesome videos and I used to watch them repeatedly since there was no IRI in those days for the weekends. Even the AK and BCT Raj Exp and WAM-1/2/3 videos from ASN ELS taken by you were awesome. I just don't understand one thing that why didn't IR run WCM Giant Locos between BCT and BRC during DC days for trains like the BCT Raj?

Right now, after the WCM-5, the HWH Rail Museum has also got the first WAM loco (Named: Jagjeevan Ram?) to showcase for the people. I loved my visit to this museum along with my Father on a holiday during my graduation days :-D

Thanks for your compliments :-) The reason for not using the DC locos is that DC traction ended at Virar and they really did not want to have a loco change there. Hence, IR developed the dual-current WCAM1 which could run from BCT all the way till ADI.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
