Hubli's WDP-4 #20009, one of the earliest "Original EMDs", gets ready to haul the Rani Chenamma Express from Bangalore City Junction. The paintwork and finishing of this loco is much better than the newer ones made at DLW. (Karan Desai)

@Ranjeet,
AFAIK, the DLW staff committed the same mistake as you did in number estimation. They were informed that GM would supply 10 locomotives, hence assumed that the last loco would be #20010, and therefore numbered their first loco as #20011. However, GM numbered the first loco as #20000, and hence the last loco of the consignment was #20009.
Now about your doubt,
#20011 is the 1st loco of DLW.
#20012 is the 2nd loco.

#20068 is the 58th loco.
Perform the complete count on your fingers or on paper, and you will be able to verify this :-)

Why was there a goof-up in numbering? Recently I spotted WDP-4 #20068. The was a metal plate sticked to it which told it was the 58th loco manufactured by DLW. SO does the numbering for DLW starts from 20011?

@ Akshay,
This is THE last "Original EMD". #20010 does not exist due to a goof-up in numbering at DLW.
@Krupa,
This is one of the dedicated locos for RC Express/MYS-MAS Shatabdi combine.
