Had seen this fella on an earlier run with the 1014 at Pune. Even then it was LHF. The paint was peeling near the headlights, but it wasn't so bad. Also at that time, there was some problem with the coupler, because when the crew changed at Pune, they were discussing it, and a keyman was even called in to check it, and during the check, the dippy was made to move to-and-fro fractionally as is normal practice during a coupling operation. Also, for quite some time, the loco was standing notched at 1 or 2, and then the Pune Div crew brought in to an idle notch.

Was this snap taken by standing on PF.1 in Secunderabad Railway Station?

It's very simple. Cost-cutting. With ongoing monsoon, the colour has come out very early than expected.

SHAME on you, DLW. What a pathetic paint job this is. Too bad.

Moreover, WCM-1 20068 & WDP-4 20068 sport almost the same livery. What a co-incidence...

Two same road numbers in IR for different loco classifications. One is here. Another one is resting at RRM, Chennai - WCM-1 #20068
