The Steel Horse in Blue.

In frame is the oldest active WDP-3A, the "Pushpak" 15506R, which was built in 1998. A steel horse, riding on the steel rails and clad in its uniform blue and white scheme, it is a denizen of DLS, Tughlakabad (TKD/NR).

 

One of the last surviving WDP-3As within the IR's roster, this rebuilt toaster is still going strong, the proof of which was presented infront of me on the day when I got to have ride behind him, and seeing him effortlessly touch 110kmph through the landcscape of Punjab and Haryana.

 

In the frame, 15506R enters the Rajpura Junction, Punjab (RPJ/NR) with the 54558 Patiala (PTA/NR)-Ambala Cantt. (UMB/NR) Passenger, and being the steel horse for my thrilling evening ride from Rajpura to Ambala.
