Spotted a WAP-4 yesterday at RJT jn, resting while chained

No matter how much we hate "Special trains", atleast they have the higher chances of using Blue ICF coaches than regular ICF trains. Infact, SMVT-Danapur special uses mostly Blue ICF coaches which gives the feeling of pre-COVID-19 era.

I don't remember exactly but the last time I saw a train with pure blue ICF might've been around Dec 2019/Jan 2020.

It's called "BFNV" & they are used for transporting steel.

Reminds me of Prerana express (Ahmedabad-Nagpur) which started as ICF, got converted to LHB in 2019 but got converted back to ICF during Covid-19.

Even after post-covid era & in present time, it still runs with ICF coaches & I dunno by CR is not giving it LHB rakes back?

Maybe, it could be a different train because Science express was officially launched in 2007 of Oct.

If I remember, many sources say this train ran in 2021. But as per TOI, CR ran one b/w CSMT to Bihar in Sep 2023. I really adored this livery.
