Why 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...!!

Great Great Useful:Imp piece of info for DQ lovers
Some snaps from my travel in Deccan Queen.
The most important point that needs to be highlighted 1st is that after getting LHB rakes the only food items available in the Dining Car are Veg Cutlets and Omelette only/.
While talking to the staff they told me that it is only possible to make these two items in the LHB induction furnace as they are no longer allowed to carry LPG Cylinders in LHB. Even the electric furnace is not reliable as the power fluctuates sometimes. If this is the case
...

with Deccan Queen then I think even Mandovi doesn’t offers variety of food items now.

Even though the maintenance and punctuality of this train is excellent, but the main attraction i.e the Dining Car has lost its charm as 90% of the food items are no longer available.
