Well, I was thinking whether if that is a loco or simply a cute little snowball or a cotton ball like kitten, when this TATA WAP7 was coming towards me through PDPK! The lovely white loco coming in through lush green surroundings, was so beautiful to watch!
For sometime, our regular morning train from Shalimar, that I spot very frequently, ie. the 12885 Aranyak Express is getting a TATA WAP7 HOG loco (Read more about the WAP7 locomotive here). As I have observed often it is a different WAP7 loco, so not a same one is repeated - eg. earlier I spotted loco no 30558, and today it was 30535. Today I had the oppertunity to record the loco approaching SHM-Shalimar via PDPK Padmapukur Railway station. Last time when I was at SHM, the approach of the loco was blocked by a freight train (read the previous blog post here), so this is the first time I am uploading a video of a WAP7 loco (only, without a train) at this area.
The loco is a TATA WAP7 (no. 30535) of TATA - TATANAGAR Loco shed in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand under SER - South Eastern Railway Zone of the Indian Railways. Follow the RF data below.
You can see the approach of the loco towards SHM-Shalimar via PDPK - Padmapukur Railway Station here:
