Ghaziabad WAP-5 30020 hauling 12951 Mumbai Central-New Delhi Rajdhani Express overtakes Valsad WCAM-1 21847 hauled 59037 Virar-Surat Shuttle at Kelve Road.
This is the 1,000th upload on my Youtube channel. So I had to make it special by uploading an old footage which many of the railfans surely miss.
Before...
more... the change in the time table and speed up gradation from 120 to 130 Kmph for the Rajdhani. This was a regular overtake at Kelve Road.
WCAM-1 was the first AC-DC Locomotive of Indian Railways. After Western Railways was converted to AC traction. Many of the WCAM-1 locomotives were made only AC working and later scrapped at the end of their codal life.
Now the Rajdhani is hauled a WAP-7 locomotive from Vadodra shed and the passenger is hauled a Valsad WAG-5 and the overtake now happens at Boisar or Vangaon.
