I was in the first Churchgate - Dahanu local train of the morning. As expected at around 8 am, it pulled into the loop line at Vangaon station, one stop before Dahanu. Few minutes later, the mainline signal turned green. And then in the distance I saw the white beauty : WAP-5 It was Amul WAP-5 30053 from Vadodara shed. And it hauled the 12009 Mumbai - Ahmedabad Shatabdi Express at a speed of above 120 km/hr as it overtook my local which was a Bombardier EMU. The overtake was just stunning and lovely at such high speed. I apologise for the severe shakes while zooming in the beginning. I was not in a very comfortable position in my train, and the zoom on the camera was getting stuck. Date of video: 18th May, 2016 I have taken a similar video of the Shatabdi Express overtaking the Dahanu local in October 2013. That time it was a purely ICF made EMU and not a Bombardier.
