When the Western Railway got converted to 25000 volts AC, the loco of the Rajdhani Express used to be a WAP-5 from Ghaziabad shed.. After a while the loco got changed.. Now, it gets a WAP-7 instead.. So it is very rare to see the Rajdhani with a WAP-5.. These are 2 (low quality) videos I captured from my phone of the 12951 Mumbai - Delhi Rajdhani Express accelerating past Lower Parel station with a WAP-5 locomotive.. Video 1 : Taken from the platform itself. The Rajdhani approaches slowly and starts accelerating superbly as it passes me. Listen to the roaring sound of the WAP-5 engine. Date of video: 15th September, 2013 Video 2 : Taken from the foot over bridge. Nice acceleration shown by the WAP-5 as it hauls the King of the Western Railway. It made very nice track sounds. Sadly a Churchgate bound local came in the way in the middle. Date of video: 5th October, 2013
