This post comes from the spotting sessions I did last month in November 2017. On 27th November, two NKJ New Katni Junction loco shed's WAG5 locomotive variants - no. 23908 and 23915, were spotted at PDPK-Padmapukur which were heading towards Shalimar yard with a freight train (Read the older post about these two WAG5s bringing in the freight train here and the #photoblog post here).

An hour or so after leaving the  freight train to the Shalimar yard, the locos were spotted leaving the stations and later made approach towards the loco shed at Santragachi.

Well, the twin NKJ WAG5 locos were variants and was freshly painted and looked neat. While the Barbie Doll livery loco (no. 23914) stole most of the camera time, the other one loco (no. 23908) was also quite handsome and looked impressive.

I want to re-quote the following from the last blog post:
- Mr. Rabin Saha, on YouTube kindly commented and informed the following, as I quote him" ...NKJ WAG5s are more clear than ET,TKD and VSKPs.Last week I spotted same coloured NKJ brothers at my local station Santoshpur (SSP).I would like to inform you that VSKP WAG5P #23838 which was spotted by you twice was involved in inaugural run of Vishakhapatnam-Araku Glass special passenger". He was referring to my previous sighting of VSKP WAG5 no. 23838, you can read the concerned blog post here.
