Majestic Locomotives, Timeless Stories, Royal Journeys⚔️

            AMVD WDP4D 40149 "13th Battalion of Kumaon Regiment" + LDH WDP4D 40264 "Maj. Shaitan Singh, Paramveer Chakra" in charge of 00240 Delhi Safdarjung - CSMT Maharajas' Express "Indian Splendor" cautiously passes Okhla as it clears Delhi surburbs.

The 13th Battalion of the Kumaon Regiment is a renowned unit of the Indian Army, known for its valor and sacrifices. It played a significant role in various operations, particularly in the 1962 Indo-China War. The battalion's gallant efforts at Rezang La in Ladakh are legendary, where Major Shaitan Singh, commanding the Charlie Company, displayed extraordinary courage and leadership. Despite overwhelming odds, Singh and his troops held their ground, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. For his supreme sacrifice, Major Shaitan Singh was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest military honor, symbolizing the regiment's legacy of bravery.

Kudos to NR for coming up with another livery masterclass. Special credits to Protkarsh bhaiya @theiznydm4 for designing these beautiful liveries.

40149 belonged to IZN DLS earlier. 40264 belonged to TKD DLS earlier. Both locos were manufactured at BLW.

The Maharajas' Express is a luxury train offering opulent interiors, gourmet dining, and exclusive excursions across India. Known for its exceptional service, it is often ranked among the world’s most luxurious trains.
