And the headlights are at the /less effective/ waist level !! I wonder how a top headlamp WDP/G4 will look like.

According to me, this is a terrible looking loco, an unwanted modification to WDM X series. So sad they defaced it this way

Well, well .... Alco meets EMD, and after all these years, it took an Indian company to do that .... :-) The rounded lines of the cab give it an appearance similar to WDP-4 #20012 'Baaz'. I wonder if the end-on cab is an improvement since LHF running will now be a pain on this loco.

Looks like 'Baaz' :P

This is a original DLW design.No modification has been carried out by Erode.Photograph taken by Anil Tharian

I initially thought the loco was a WDP4. Are these changes done by loco sheds, or are they done by DLW?

Nice! Reminds me of Appu s awesome photo which featured a Shakti..i think.

Maybe I have not paid much attention, but this is the first time I am seeing a protective grill in front of a WDM3A's (or WDM2) window.

A good capture not only of the smoking loco-but also the horseshoe curve in the background. I must say that I'm looking forward to a future return visit to Adarki. Thank you all...
