Is this Loco on a temporary mission or transferred?

How many locos have been transferred to Siliguri? Looks to me as if it's the 20012-20020 range, the first set of completely DLW made WDP-4's.

I am soory about that earlier coment. This loco runs on the Matheran route and so does not need a pinion or rack.

Locomotives running on the NMR have two cyliders on each side. One to run the wheels and one for the pinion. This loco has only one cylinder on each side !!! ???

Hi Gaurav,
I am no expert in these matters, but I thought the purple fringing came about because of the early morning sunlight?

Abhijit, avoid using max zoom of the camera as lens imperfections too get magnified. Just look at the amount of purple fringing in your picture which results from dispersion of small wavelengths of light due to lens imperfections. Nice picture otherwise.
