Bhagat ki kothi WDG4 12268 resting at Sawai Madhopur. The red band is a pleasing change to conventional livery of WDG/DP 4 locos, adopted by BGKT and TKD sheds. (anant singh)

Kharad, you are right. i tried to clean image with "Neatimage" (to the extent i could manage) as original image was in ISO 1250. Fuzziness at some points is resultant of that.

@Abhinav: The paint job is by DLW, not the sheds. These are new locos.

Has this image been photoshopped to some extent by smudging the surroundings?? Atleast it kinda gives that effect

Aseem Bhai, in very brief, IGBTs are high speed power electronic semiconductors that control power input from 3 phase diesel generator to traction motors. These are next generation devices to gate turn off (GTO)thyristors. Siemens is primary contractor ...

These are 4,500 hp IGBT locos.

I agree, a more interesting livery - possibly the red band indicates a 4500hp IGBT loco?

SBI, BGKT and TKD are giving nice paint jobs to their EMDs...

Nice. For a second, I thought this was American Railroad.

Nice catch. Along with the red band, the greenish colour too looks nice.
