The Diesel God
WDP-4 is the IR's latest diesel locomotive in the WDP class dedicated to Mail/Express/Passenger trains. Originally named GT46PAC by its builder EMD, it carries the 16-V-710G3B-EC (Turbocharged) power pack that churns out a maximum of 4000 HP. It's wheel arrangement is Bo-1-1-Bo i.e. out of three axles in the bogie, only two are powered, hence reducing the number of traction motors by two, which makes it lighter and suitable for high speed operation. The unit seen here is based at Siliguri. Taken at Tilak Bridge, New Delhi, India.
