Nice catch. Along with the red band, the greenish colour too looks nice.

Nice. For a second, I thought this was American Railroad.

SBI, BGKT and TKD are giving nice paint jobs to their EMDs...

Lovely livery! Good click!

I agree, a more interesting livery - possibly the red band indicates a 4500hp IGBT loco?

These are 4,500 hp IGBT locos.

Aseem Bhai, in very brief, IGBTs are high speed power electronic semiconductors that control power input from 3 phase diesel generator to traction motors. These are next generation devices to gate turn off (GTO)thyristors. Siemens is primary contractor supplying these to DLW. You may want to see page 2 of this document.

Has this image been photoshopped to some extent by smudging the surroundings?? Atleast it kinda gives that effect

@Abhinav: The paint job is by DLW, not the sheds. These are new locos.

Kharad, you are right. i tried to clean image with "Neatimage" (to the extent i could manage) as original image was in ISO 1250. Fuzziness at some points is resultant of that.

The Loco looks very amazing... very nice... too good...
