Full Length View of the 12082 Jan Shatabdi Express

Freshly painted SR AJJ WAP1 #22041 in full WAP4 livery rests at Kottayam with the 12082 Trivandrum – Kannur Jan Shatabdi Express. The first two coaches are in regular Jan Shatabdi livery while most of the remaining are pasted over with advertisement wraps of different colors for Joy Alukkas jewelers, Madhyamam newspaper and others. The WAP1, with mid-mounted headlamps no less, is a not rare but less regular link compared to the WAP4 it usually hauls. The train has comparatively limited stops, a rarity for Kerala, and is the fastest between Trivandrum and Kannur.
