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.

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.
