1. As per IRFCA roster - WDP4 20011 is called Baaz.
But why do some RFs mention 20015 and 20012 as Baaz?
2. Also, all 3 were initially with UBL and later now with SGUJ, but only 20011 had the dark blue livery. But now all 3 have dark blue livery. Were the other 2 recently modified?

'Baaz' was the name given to the original set of EMD's homed at Hubli shed. They used to have a Dark Blue livery with a white stripe. There are a few locomotives known as Baaz. Original livery can be seen in this pic by Shashank Nanda, IRFCA - [click here ]
20012 became famous after it was painted in a new livery (Orange/Blue).

1. Yes 20012 can be seen in this video click here
The person seems to have posted someone else's 2003-04 video. Original video I am unable to find.
2. Baaz means Falcon or Hawk? Differing answers seen on net.
3. No original EMDs have UBL written on them. 12001 series or 20000 series. Just WDG4 or WDP4. Very few have "Hubli" in English in

SHF face.
4. 20012 SHF seems smooth looking, unlike the original EMD SHF face wih sharp corners.
5. Also the LHF is shaped like that (the LP view obstruction part jutting out) due to which component?

I think it means Falcon. Open to corrections though.
That is the radiator to dissipate the heat from the engine.
