August 2015
It was the era when WCAM-1 from BL was condemned and duties was given to WAG-5 freight locos to haul few Passenger Trains.
Seen in the Video is Valsad WAG-5 23355 pure Freight Loco hauling 59010 Bharuch Virar Shuttle.
It was one of the most popular train for Monthly Season Ticket Holders.
Due...
more... to shortage of Unreserved General Coaches in WR during that time.. they have attached two Sleeper coaches in the front portion of the rake and it is having "RARE NON AC CABIN TYPE FIRST CLASS" Coaches too.
All NON AC CABIN TYPE AND CHAIR CAR FIRST CLASS Coaches are withdrawn from Western Railway due to overage. They was manufactured till 1997.
And this train 59010 Bharuch Virar Shuttle is also replaced by MEMU which runs as 69150 now.
Hence this is a great peice of History to be Remembered.
Thanks...
