The 'Namma Karunadu' livery is a salute to the rich and cultural heritage of Karnataka State (also my home state).

This newly repainted EMD locomotive was inaugurated on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the FIRST High Horsepower (HHP) Diesel Loco Shed of India, the Hubballi (UBL) loco shed.

The loco looks fresh and brand new with the new livery !!

It is a proud feeling to see our 'Kannada Language' been used in the livery.

BACKGROUND STORY:
Yesterday (4th May 2023) late night suddenly we got the surprise news from Hubbali based RFs and officials. Henceforth, this spotting was possible. A big thanks to Hubballi Railway Station officials and Railfans out there.

After Golgumbaz Express got back it's end to end diesel link. I had a desire to spot it with a diesel locomotive that too a WDP-4 or WDP-4B from UBL. Finally , it is now accomplished with a new surprise livery !!!

Also, attaching the idling sounds of the locomotive.

Hope you guys liked it !!
THANK YOU ALL !!!

Happy birthday Indian Railways and Hubballi Diesel Loco Shed
