For those who might not have seen my journey on the double-headed ICF Rajdhani in 1995. Here is part 1 from BCT till RTM.
=============
This was my last journey on the double-headed Bombay Rajdhani and in ICF avatar. It was also my first with Pushkar Apte who I have known since 1989. We couldn't have asked for a better start - Bombay Central to Vadodara in 4 hours 21 minutes non-stop; not a single unscheduled halt. Now, THAT'S priority! This video covers the journey till Raltam....

Was there a section of the Bombay Central-Vadodara-Ratlam route that was un-electrified back then?
It was completely electrified. However, the WCAM1 loco had an MPS of 100 and Rajdhani required 120 between Virar and Godhra. So, diesels were employed until the WCAM2 was introduced.
