That used to say Indian Railways. Now its got its road number painted on it in some goofy font.

Yes true. this is the KJM's freshly painted beast,with new font of road numbering along the side catwalk off the side panel. she even sports new marker lamps.

This WDP-4 for some reason looks different.

Had spotted this loco at Itarsi in april 2007 and was hauling the Gondwana to nzm

such a train would make even a freight pilot lethargic....btw! have BRC started calling their P4s are 'Mayur'?

...or is it just the angle? Diesel experts please provide more inputs.

FZR BCT Janata express has a lot of slack. Last time when I traveled in it till BL, from VR to Palghar, it was made to trail a MEMU and slow down at each station. After Palghar it stops at all stations so following a MEMU was not a problem. The train also had a very very lethargic driver. In spite of all this, it reached BL only 5 minutes late.

I don't find anything different, but comparing with this image, it seems as if they have provided more space between the shell and the bogies, maybe for much more smoother adjustments while on curves or gradients?
