It was d last min decision by ER rfs to celebrate its 150th Birthday. I was not a part of it bt many of them r in touch wid me n very good frnds too. They wanted 30201 (Navkiran) which was present at that tym in HWH ELS to be given to 12311, but as the whole plan to celebrate was done last moment, they could not get it as DCM/HWH informed dat 30201 had been already reserved for 12321. Then he himself gave some choices dat this this locos are free. From there, 30328 was chosen. It was sent to ETS just 7 hrs before the departure of 12311 n was readied for decoration. N dat day, 12312 arrived very late. Maybe 10 am or 12 noon. After maintenance, the rake was thoroughly washed n was given to rfs for decoration. One of d best moments for ER rfs. Truly...
