I am sure that you must be thinking that why isn't this train permanently diverted via Lucknow on some days. The snaps are clear and I was looking at this loco's horns... ready for full blow. It is sad to think that after a few years IR may stop manufacturing WDM Series Locos and only design WDPs. The same will go for WAP-4s being replaced by WAP-7s which is a good step in the case of electric locos. WAP-5 is not much on the CLW's radar. If I am not wrong, these WDM-3Ds are capable of 130 Kmph MPS just like the WDP-4s but none of these diesel locos were given clearance to run at such speeds on the PNBE-MGS-ALD-CNB or PNBE-MGS-SLN-LKO-MB Routes :-o
