Yes, BUILT by Parel Workshop! Parel Workshop indeed does build WDG-3A these days and they can be distinguished by the design of the cow-catcher!

Milind, we did not travel- for a mere Rs 3, we enjoyed the air-conditioned comforts in a totally empty coach for around 20 minutes while the train was stationary at BCT!

Outstanding pic! Would be even better if you straightened it a bit.

A wild guess - this livery looks quite similar to that of the coaches of Garib Rath.
Perhaps the South Railway is thinking of to deploy this loco to GR.

Oh, God! Is this the end of the Sapthagiri-liveried WAM4?

I am glad to see my favourite loco given a different paint job. It looks far better in this livery than the present looking GZB & AJJ WAP1 and equally gorgeous like the dark grey WAP1 Jawahar of the 80's and 90's.

Manish, it's MPS is 130kph but it has hauled 9 coach Bhopal Shatabdi at 140kph too. Railfans have footplated it and have experienced the 140kph run.
