@Vaibhav - that is the Sanskriti Express rake parked at Sealdah station. It is a mobile museum depicting the life and the works of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. It is a tribute from the Indian Railways to the Nobel Laureate.

Zubin is right. Here is Binai's capture of this loco with the Bhusawal Mumbai Passenger at Odha.

Poor thing used to be in pristine condition just a lil time back.

Can you throw some light on the OLD ICF rajdhani rake with the Shatabdi generator car is that SDAH rajdhani is the pic pretty old ?

Really hope the radiator-cab issues have been addressed. The beast has lost the macho look, I daresay :P

Jumbo grill on the wind shield adds to its elegance. Most Jumbos have the same type of grill.

If looks could kill...
Really handsome looking loco. I hope for LP/ALP sake designers have given some thought to ergonomics inside cabs.

It really looks cool. WDP4/WDG4 class of locos are the best looking locos IR has got till date. Good to know that's it's upgraded to 500hp more. I would love to see this loco hauling up and down Bdts Dee Sarai Rohilla Garibrath express.
