This is an old video and a sight that will never be seen again. The Mumbai CST - Karmali Tejas Express crosses the Magaon - Mumbai LTT Double Decker AC Express at Ukshi Railway Station of the Konkan Railway. Those were the days when Konkan Railway was not electrified, and there were no poles spoiling the beauty of the route. Also, for a little period of time, a few WDP-3A locomotives were alloted to Kalyan (KYN) shed and painted in this special livery to match the livery of the Tejas Express. Co-incidentally, a similar locomotive in the same livery was hauling my Double Decker AC Express as well and it matches with my train too!
Shortly after this, the WDP-3A locomotives were derated due to their age and maintenance issues and the Tejas Express was given twin WDM-3A/3D locomotives on a regular basis. However, now with Konkan Railway fully electrified, it mostly runs with a WAP-7 locomotive. Another thing to note is that Ukshi is the only station on Konkan Railway that is located partially in a tunnel and is also the only double track tunnel of the Konkan Railway.
My full journey on the Madgaon - Mumbai LTT Double Decker AC Express can be seen here:
