Dec 17 2017 (13:12) 12301/Howrah - New Delhi Rajdhani Express (Via Gaya)
Nashua NH USA
Nashua NH USA 950 blog postsWAP1 #22004 is in charge of the Howrah Rajdhani [from a CLW calendar]. Doesn't the train look majestic with a red-cream uniform rake and matched loco? The early batch of WAP1s had the dip in front instead of the lightning zigzag lines. Imagine how I would have felt when I saw this beauty pull into Mughalsarai on a cold night in December 1986. In my utter excitement, I dropped the tickets and it almost fell onto the tracks. Fortunately, I was able to board it and enjoy the ride till New Delhi. Three years later it graced me with its presence - it overtook my Himgiri in full mood somewhere near Saktigarh.

Shatabdi livery is okay. But because there are a lot of ACSF or SF trains with LHB rakes, the uniqueness of Raj livery is not there.
Yes.Very few intercity trains have Shatabdi livery.Eg.Taj Exp.But Raj livery is very very common.
I know only these which you have mentioned.I even travelled by SC BZA ICE
