WAP1 FMII #22005 'Jawahar' hauling the Taj Exp, another example of a matched livery loco with a clean rake. It was upgraded to WAP3 for the Bhopal Shatabdi and later downgraded back to WAP1 when the experiment with fabricated bogies wasn't successful. [from CLW calendar]

The Star on the front of the Loco is really a nice touch. Reminds one of the Taj's trademark liveried WP with the Star on it's nose! The only electric locomotive that suited the Taj, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!
This has to be the most celebrated passenger loco of IR! Hauled the premium Rajdhanis in their initial years, the first high speed runs with the BPL Shatabdi as a WAP3, and then the Saptagiri express in it's custom livery, and also among the first electric locos to get the Head-on-Generation feature!
