You can see this green-liveried WAM4 in the book - 'No Problem Sahib!' Back in the late 70s, there used to be WAM4s with the same color combination but with blue instead of green - in the IGP-BSL section.

Thanks everyone. I am glad that you all liked it.I should consider myself lucky to see this rare spotting.
In other words,I can also describe it as a WAP4 hauled freight train. This WAG7 is almost a carbon copy of WAP4. Only difference is the MU cables and the length of this loco is longer than the WAP4's.

The most logical explanation would be that the rake started off with a Diesel. But mid way an electric had to be attached to get the job done. Had the Diesel been leading it could have been the otherway around.

Good shot...

To voice my opinion,I am against this change guys.
The WAP Class of Locomotives should be a "class apart" Atleast in design.
So should the WAG class of frieght locomotives.
And the M.U cables certainly take away the charm of WAP class.
They best suit the WAM/WAG class of loco's.

Great catch Arzan. It'll be interesting to know how many more G7's are there with the P4 shell.
