This post continues as part of my spotting series of trains over the Gandak River Bridge that connects Hajipur and Sonepur, and the respective railway stations over the Gandak river in Bihar. KTE Katni Junction-'s EMD WDG4(D) locomotive (no. 70420) was spotted hauling a freight train through the said Gandak River Rail bridge from Sonepur side towards Hajipur Junction (find the video below).

It was such a great pleasure for me to spot this diesel beauty; it is  quite advance loco of its kind with twin cabins. This loco is probably manufactured by the DLW 'Diesel Locomotive Works' Factory.

The video was taken from the Gandak River foot bridge along the Gandak river rail bridge, from Hajipur river bank. As I mentioned, the train was moving from Sonepur towards Hajipur across the Gandak river. You can see the location of the three parallel bridges on the Google map attached here.

The Gandak River Bridge series is to continue for next few days, but I plan to have a very special post when my YouTube channel hits 2K Subscribers, which is close to hit the milestone, and I am quite excited while I keep that on hold for that special occasion. Crossing 2000 Subscribers is a very little achievement but I thank all my followers, blog readers for the constant support and encouragement, that keeps this blog active.

Here is the video link of the loco passing the bridge:
