- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2020
- After a few hours rest at the Pune running room, it was time to head back to Ghatkopar. Our LP friend, Anthony Rodriguez, was manning the same WCM2 that brought us to Pune. The train behind us was the Mahalaxmi Express.
I enjoyed some night-time action till Karjat. After that, I was able to capture plenty of EMUs, since it was rush hour. Other highlights include:
- Panto sparks
- Going through tunnels
- Halts at Lonavala and Karjat
- Meeting the WCG2-hauled Deccan Exp. at Kalyan
- Crossing the WCM2-hauled Udyan Exp.
- Surprise encounter with a WCAM1 in elegant cream-brown livery
- Meeting the WCG2-hauled Pushpak Exp. at Ghatkopar
Loco ride from Bombay to Pune can be seen here - • WCM2 Loco Ride from Bo...
Ur vdos r more like a time machine taking me back to my childhood memories.
The smell of rain compounded with that of the ALCO exhaust, a WDM2 hauling a freight, Ah! the memories!
Thankyou for bringing back the unseen memories
21:11 No Kopar Railway Station constructed in 1995
Wonderful!!! You took me to my Childhood 🙂 Every Year I visit Bombay to meet my Thatha and Paati (Grandparents). I enjoy those train journeys. I was actually saying what all will be the next station names watching your video. And at last Ghatkopar, Bombay where I was born ❤️🙂. Thank you for the video Mani Vijay Sir 🙂🙏
I am very familiar to this Beautiful & Hard Working Loco of that time...
I have travelled a lot in the 90s from my City Pune to Mumbai and back....
ThankYou Mani Sir... God Bless You Forever. ..
Omg have never seen this train. It's so good just like travelling back in time❤🔥
Wonderful Compilation. Thoroughly enjoyed
Koi lauta de mere beete hue Din.
Used to listen to kishore Da on walkman often during my Mumbai Pune journey those days...
Reminiscing those days...90s
Thanks a lot for such a wonderful video.
View from the rear cab .
Feel like time travel.
More speed!!!
what a memory ❤️❤️❤️
wow wat nostalgic memories thank u uncle for reviving the nostalgic memories 😍😊
Sir, during my childhood days in the 1990s, boarding trains from then Bombay VT introduced me to these DC giants as then BCT was about WCAM-1 & WDM-2. I remember traveling to Pune by Shatabdi with a matching cream n blue WCM loco. Indrani Exp in return journey with matching White, Red n blue WCM. This vlog was amazing as it dwarfed other trains from its window view. Bhor Ghat & Parsik tunnels were amazing & Howrah-Igatpuri line of AC locos joining at Kalyan was great. Loco's honking was cute while alerting jaywalkers on the tracks which is present till date. EMUs could be seen from Karjat onwards right till CR line of then Bombay area. Train didn't rush in the rain but journey was awesome! 😍😘🤗🙏
Thanks for your observations!! I envy you that you got to travel in the Pune Shatabdi with a matched WCM5. I never even saw that particular loco.
Thank you for uploading, most thankful for you showing my city Ulhasnagar, it was crowded as usual
Thanks so much to take us to our childhood memories.. I only had memories of this engine when I use to go to my native from dadar station those two corner platforms and this engine use to be changed in igatpuri..from DC to AC and later when it vanished..i used to search this engine a lot at stations..thanks so much..
Absolutely mind blowing sir... Who could even think of creating such wonderful footage with soo much advancement now, which you have created in those days...!! Speechless... !!
First ever rail Vbloger.
Zabardast..purane dino me chala gaya tha ..really these are golden memories..😊😊
I can smell the nostalgia in the air in this video.
🙏🙏.
Very nice video and many many thanks for this video of wcm locomotives
I have never been so excited watching a video. I was born and brought up in Dombivali. And I was so elated to see my city 26 years ago. I am sure I must have been up to some histrionics as my 10th board exam had just finished. My god thanks for these memories.
Glad you liked it!
Waiting for this one!!!
This is approximately when I left India. Sweet memories of familiar scene of mid 90s. That’s some 25 years ago. Thanks for uploading.
Glad you liked it!
The golden days
Very true!
Aap ne jis tarah uss waqt me capture cover kiya wah such me kaabil e taarif hai.
Aajkal ke rail fan/lover waisa capture nahi kar paate hai.

This is Awesome rare vintage video, Hats off to guy who captured this golden moments. Indeed this reminds my childhood days,
Thanks! I did enjoy taking footage of this loco ride.
@@ManiVijay really you are blessed to capture this historic vintage ride. May u please post more of these stuff, which is really heart touching. God bless u
Wow. Thane looked weird. It seems like now things have really changed a lot in Central Railways
Love the climate sir.
Thanks
Udyan with SR coaches!!....brilliant video sir!!
Thanks a ton!
Oh my God I never knew that there was much greenery before at kanjurmarg! Now it is difficult to find a tree there all had became such modern
Nice compilation of videos sir , Thanks for showing kalyan of 1995 I was born in the same year ☺
Glad you liked it. What changes do you see in Kalyan?
@@ManiVijay sir many changes have come since 1995 new platform 1a and 1 has been built and the surroundings have changed from malls to tall skyscrapers
Really nostalgic...
nice sar
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nice,like a time machine
I love wcm 2 locomotive
Your legend of all railfan
Thanks
Very good video Sir
Indian railways have modernized in a massive manner. However, the thrill and the excitement has reduced massively from previous railway journey experiences that we have gathered...
We still have a long way to go , Ashwini Vaishnav is doing a great job but he has a task at hand in filling in some major gaps which exist since 75 years which was never addressed by any of the previous rail ministers for some reason or the other
Nice video sir
09:54 My Hometown!
Puspak exp ❤ my hometown train.
The first superfast train from Mumbai in the Bhusaval-Lucknow section 💪.
Thanks a lot sir for the lovely video. Cherished old memories. Good to see late Robert Dumen uncle, have good old memories on foot plate with him. There was a video on you tube of retirement of Mr Robert Dumen uncle, but not able to find now. If you have link, please share.
Have travelled in those trains
Golden Day Videos 😍😍
हम 2020 मे क्यूँ हे😪
Indeed, those were great days!!
Yours clips are incredible...Pls post old videos of North East & Poorva express ( if available 90s era)
It is very sad to see these locomotives scrapped. Central railways in Mumbai should have created a museum and preserved a model of each WCM loco for people to go back in time and enjoy these locos as they were running in their territory.
This is the pain of progress, I guess. But they could have at least created a museum.
Good video
Old memories
Indeed!
somewhere near ghatkopar 6 yr old me is playing outside while you are recording this video
There were no slums around parsik tunnels, the area was full of greenery. Now its really bad and while passing from that area the view and smell is similar like sion to matunga streach
Oh God, Bhandup, Mulund, Ghatkopar, Kalyan, Diva, Dombivali all were looking backward villages on that time (1995), Look platforms and railway tracks were so much dirtiest, only row houses are observed not any sky line buildings but on these days (2020-22) all these places have hundreds of sky line buildings. Raiway platforms are cleaned and passengers are also modern.
I always wished to see an ALCO-built WDM2 in action and finally my wish is granted!!
@15:14 - Here is 18041, the second WDM2 to be built by ALCO for Indian Railways. This is indeed a treat to the eyes of an avid diesel lover like me.
I did not realize that it was the 2nd WDM2 to be built by ALCO. Thanks for the update!
Top👍
This train has taken almost an excess of 5 hrs to reach CST from Pune. Now,it hardly takes 3.5 hrs to cover the same.
Building at 19:34 is my colony in kalyan city... We r living here since 1992
14:42 single brake pipe goods wagons with WDM2
Correct. Also, the wagon did not have side buffers
@@ManiVijay yes

July ,1995 when I born
Tuyệt vời quá bạn ơi
Thanks!
WCM2:-"My riders are back."
I guess that's what it thought 😁
When which year was this? REMEMBER udyan used to terminate at dadar in morn something similar to current dadar chennai exp
14:55 never seen diamond panto like that on EMUs in Chennai!
Wow Ambernath and Ulhasnagar in 1995.
I believe wcm loco must be rebuilt again with 6000hp . Great to see legendary Pushpak express in 90s.
Good idea. However, we don't have DC sections anymore.
@@ManiVijay I mean to say rly shud made loco with wcm design which can be runnon ac section.
@@trinetra5378yes I liked the look of these old giants…. Gives a bulky strong feeling
Mumbai seems to be crowded always... Even in 1995
i like this
at that time i was in 1oth class
Thanks!
I am from Ghatkopar..
My date of birth 06/10/2001
Sir do u have video on Jaipur Jodhpur route or Jodhpur Bikaner meter gauges
Do you have Mumbai cst to panvel harbour line journey videos?
Sir what was the MPS ? at that time ?
Mani Sir, mesmerizing to watch. My doubt is where is the locomotive parked in between the two journeys and is it the loco pilot who has to park it and bring it back for the return journey or any other designated personnel are there for that job.
Thanks a lot! Good question. There are designated people to do that parking.
At that time also local trains were so much crowded.
True. But non peak-time was pretty decent.
the wiper was fixed in the return direction
Mumbai to Gorakhpur kushinagar express trip dekhao sir ji
Pushpak with CR Rake and NE pantry car?
Any reason why did was it made to stand at Ghatkopar mahalaxmi express?
Pushpak exp from 1988- 2004 belongs to Central railway after that it was taken by northeastern railway from 2005- till date.
24:18 big headlamps of EMU looks like "Bindia" 😁
Nice visualization 😁
Mani sir i love your videos on central railways . But i have one question why ohe poles in cr are different than all india ??? Why
Thanks a lot! Good question! These poles were designed for DC operations and follow the British model whereas the rest of India follows the French model. In fact, the first set of AC locos were all imported from France.
do they allow to take video in the loco nowadays? it is my wish to take one when I am traveling from blr to Mum on 17/09/23
Sir since when Pushpak express has been running and was it ever steam hauled
Sir you can upload nagpur railway station old videos is like 2001
And also WAP-7 locomotives along with WAG-9 locomotives and more
Ok
Yeah I typed my comment for Mani Vijay to upload along with your comment
19:31 funny eyebrows of EMU
Yes
Harshad Mehta was in jali at this time🥺
Mani sir please upload year before 1998 of Mumbai to Madgaon via Panvel if you have in your archival
I plan to upload my complete Panvel-Nagercoil trip via KR which I did in Dec 1999. But you can find short videos here - th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=GIM-NCJ+Mani
Thank you sir
Nice one sir, traveling inside a loco cab. Sir, do you have WDM1 in your collection?
Thanks! That's the only loco I have been unable to capture on video. Have seen it live many times though.
@@ManiVijay oh...
Mani, were you actually a loco pilot back then ?
Sir were you a railway employee then ? How did you manage to get in many locomotives? Please reply.
No. Back then, a friend of mine used to know quite a few LPs in CR Mumbai.
@@ManiVijay thank you sir. Please upload a video of trains on kacheguda - Manmad meter guage line of SCR
Sir how did you recognise passing locos at night?
Only if I can see the profile.
@@ManiVijay very difficult at night
