Always wanted to spot this locomotive with an LHB train, now it's satisfied !!

Hubballi's one of remaining very few OG cabbed passenger...

hauling EMDs - WDP-4s visits Mysuru with an important train connecting north Karnataka.

Behold, the Hubballi (UBL) WDP-4 #20065, recently painted, which hauled ...

Train No: 16535/16536
Mysuru (MYS) -- Solapur (SUR)
Golgumbaz Express

... arrived and departed from Mysuru with the same train.

I would also give a new meaning for OG - Original Gangsters.

Since when Golgumbaz Express got back it's end to end diesel link. I had a desire to spot it with a single cab diesel locomotive, like a WDP-4 or WDP-4B from UBL. After spotting a couple of WDP-4Bs and dual cab WDP-4Ds, I really wanted to see the WDP-4s coming with this train.

I was literally unaware of this, but was really surprised and filled with joy when I saw the Original Gangster with LHB-Golgumbaz.

Many WDP-4s of Hubballi DLS have been transferred to DLTB-Tughlakabad (Delhi) or GY-Gooty. Also, the original imported EMDs are now bearing modified widecabs, except the legendary WDP-4 #20005

Only thing I would say is - "THANK YOU ALMIGHTY !!"

The guy standing next to the locomotive is mee !! Photo taken by the ALP of the locomotive. He was a bit hesitant though. Sorry to him.

Also, will be attaching the startup and idling sounds of the locomotive.

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