K Ramakrishna Kini~ 1580 blog postsBrand new PUNE WDP4D#40153 with Pune-Karjat shuttle.
Finally after exciting and nervous wait at AKRD, managed to catch the new kid on the block :) PUNE Shed was allotted to new WDP4D's this week - WDP4D#40143 and WDP4D#40144. So the WDP4D#40143 sparkling here and looking handsome as it notches, honks and smokes away with the passenger. It was basically sent for testing on the ghats which I am not sure is right option. This is the first video of WDP4D in my channel. Just like other railfans, I am not a great fan of the WDP4D as its LHF ends resembles a tiffin box (flattened LHF End). They could have easily replaced this with piglet SHF design on both the ends...

Thank you :) Smoking of an EMD is rare but certainly not impossible. I guess it was just notching up and accelerating after a scheduled halt
