Last Made WAP4 Arrives Tumbling And Fast Leaves With Aranyak Express

Last WAP4 of IR | © Soumo's Railways

The last made WAP4 locomotive of IR, WAP4 no. 25051 was assigned to SER's SRC-Santragachi loco shed. Today while I was at Padmapukur for morning walk, I spotted this loco approaching/ coming in towards SHM-Shalimar railway station via PDPK, to serve the 12885 Aranyak Express. What interesting was how this loco was shaking while running at high speed as spotted at the approach area of PDPK. You can see the video here or in the video thumbnail below.

I was not aware that this loco is the last made WAP4 by the Indian Railways. Thanks to Mr. Saha on my YouTube, once again for providing such great information. While this SRC WAP4 was indeed special, SRC WAP4s are normal loco link of the 12885 Aranyak Express.

If you are a new reader of my blog then I wish to tell you that I spot the Aranyak Express quite regularly. Mainly because this train gets so many kind of different locomotives which is a train spotters delight. You can read all my past posts and even follow future posts about spotting the Aranyak Express here.

Watch the loco pass and also later the Aranyak Express hauled by the same loco in the link below:
