New P4 has two handles for the doors so pilot can open it standing on the ground. very useful.

All the new p4's now r coming with the wap5/7 type side windows as even i saw 22689 at Itarsi with the same. Everything agreed, strips or stripless, new quality paint, new side windows,etc but the look the mid-mounted headlamps provide on the wap4 is...

I saw 22697 today with AJJ. Will try to put up the photos in a few days.

Well no matter what is said, the newer Wappies look awesome and yeah AJJ's trademark is their lightning stripes without which they look incomplete.

Credits to Ramesh who spotted the loco well in time and we were able to click this.I feel the bodywork is certainly a mark higher than before.

I agree with Sriram. Without the strikes, it looks like any ordinary WAP4.

The P4 looks drab without the lightning stripes... The AJJ trademark looked so good

Good Catch Ashwanth! The WAP4 looks better without the lightning stripes, i feel.
