The ugly but powerful beast, reversing from the Gooty end of
Guntakal station. |

The front and the rear of the loco. The iron
cylinder on the platform in the first picture is a cash-carrying
safe! It is used to carry the cash receipts from wayside stations
by the guard of a stopping passenger train. |

The scheduled 5-minute halt of my train, the 6011 Dn. express
does not encourage jumping onto another platform for a closer look.
The driver of the loco mentioned that each of these locos can haul
a load of 5000 tonnes. |

A BOXN rake waiting at Bhakrapeta for the 6011 to
cross. This is not the leading loco but the banker for the ghat
section. The lead loco is another WDG4 facing Cuddupah. |

|
A quick shot of a crossing WDG4. Note the massive rubber
bellows in the bogies. This is the Razampeta station. I saw the
first WDG4 at Adoni the same morning on the 6011 Dn. Through the
day, I saw at least 12 locos. |
