According to a message posted in the groups earlier, all WDP-4s are being transferred to KJM.

No, this is not a trend. The panto of the rear loco is raised (or lowered) depending upon the gradient and load hauled. There are specific instructions to drivers about how to operate mued locos in various sections.

Trailing WAG-7 is dead. In one of the other Nagari snaps also the trailing WAG-5 was dead. Trend?

Beautiful! This is Ekambarakuppam-Vepagunta section(of AJJ-RU line).The signal is positioned in such a way so that the pilot can view its aspect without the ROB's interference.

I suspect that "AJJ" and "DaRe" in Hindi was painted in BSL before it was transferred to AJJ shed. Nearly all the AJJ locos that I have come across have very poor Hindi writing. Also missing is the mention of the gear ratio.

Hmmm so BSL has started transferring all its WAM 4's now.

That's a twin WDG3A led BCNA-rake on the Down loop, while the Up Mainline has a possible light loco going towards Pune DLS/GIT!!

A very atmospheric shot! Do I see a VSKP WAM-4 lurking behind?
