Deccan Queen 👑

In Frame Derated #11367 PUNE WDM3D decorated for Deccan Queen Express 95th Birthday Celebration,
Today our Queen has completed her 94 years of Glorious Service!!!

Why...
more...

a Diesel Loco today?

If you check Deccan Queen's history it was the Train which was hauled by a Electric Loco from its Maiden Run, Various Species of Eloco from DC to AC and Dual Electric Current WCAMs have hauled Deccan Queen Express!!
Speciality of DQ is the first train to have Ladies only compartment, Vestibule or Gangway for moving from one coach another without Getting out of the Train, A Daily Passenger service train to have Dinning Car..!!
Today, Due to a 63 Hrs Mega Block in Mumbai Division, has cancelled several Trains including Deccan Queen 👑, it was a sad news to us when we came to know about Cancellation..., but huge thanks to Harsha Shaha Mam and Her Passenger Association as well as Huge Thanks to Humble Railway Officers and Staffs for allowing us to Celebrate Queen's Birthday, and it was a Dream for me and my fellow Railfans to get a Chance to Decorate Diesel Loco that too an ALCo!!
So here, WDM3D is just shunting the rake from Yard to Pune's Platform No4., here we Decorated the Loco and Celebrated by Cutting Cake, later Rake was Shunted back to Yard by same loco after the Celebrations...!!
