This is a new loco, and the second G-7 with P-4 cab. The earlier one is 27895. But the MU cables spoil the look of the P-4 face. MU cables look better on the traditional shell itself. Also, we will soon see locos in the 28xxx series!

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

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.

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.
