WDP-4 #20049 probably from Siliguri Shed takes charge of 2424 upto GHY. Later a New Guwahati WDM2 hauled the 5 coach rake from GHY to DBRT. The train reverses here and proceeds to Katihar Jn via Mansi Jn. 10/01/2009, Barauni Junction (Harish Kumar)

@ Ankit - The rake had 2 EOG. The rake formation of 2424 from Ghy to DBRT was Loco, EOG, 2A, 3A, 3A, 3A. WDM-2 xxx from New Guwahati Shed took charge of the little rake to DBRT. 2424 eventually will have 3 loco changes and 1 reversal.

This must be the first Rajdhani in the country to be hauled by a WDP-4. Nice to see IR's most prized locos taking charge of the most prized trains.

For the record, the only other Rajdhani/Shatabdi that gets a WDP-4 is the 2007/08...
