proposal was given few months back and was implemented on 30th August 2024.

38490 was selected for the same as it is the first Locomotive allocated to ELS/Tatanagar in F.Y 2024-25 which coincides with the Centenary Year of Railway Electrification in India.

Thanks to the officials of TATA ELS, SER and other Railway officials for accepting the proposal and implementing the same.

With this 38490 becomes the first named WAG 9 of SER.

Few pictures of 38490 with name.
This locomotive is MUed with TATA WAG 9HC 33387 and currently doing duties.

Thank You. 🙏🏽

When it comes to South Eastern, everything is not so easy. One has to give lots of effort.
Yes finally SER is cooperating with Railfans, that's why SER now has quite a number of named locos now.
Recently a P4 was named as Digvijayi and painted in a new colour scheme. Nabadiganta was done earlier.

to Berth Multiplexing PQWL 101 for TATA will get confirmed but not for NGP which was PQWL 87. GNWL 10 for CST gets into RAC.

It depends on many things and mere quota has nothing to do with any clearance. All depends upon the distance, sector and booking patterns.

One thing I've noticed while traveling in Howrah Rajdhani.

Pantry staff selling chips, cakes, cup noodles, Chanachur, Bhujia in Rajdhani Express. That's a new thing in premium trains like Rajdhani.

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
