wdg4 12001 was the first GT46MAC to be imported from GM EMD USA IN 1997 as IR was on the lookout for powerful,efficient diesel locomotives that could meet its increasing demands for heavy freight and passenger trains and replace aging ALCOS .Previously IR imported wdm4 locomotives from GM EMD in 1962 but couldn't make them as emd didn't agree for TOT but ALCO did so wdm2s were selected for mass production despite being less superior to wdm4s.WDM4S were fitted with a 16-567D3 turbocharged 2 stroke diesel engine rated at 2600hp similar to the wdm2 but were more efficient and gave fewer emissions.even the howrah rajdhani was hauled by a wdm4.These monsters remained in service hauling freight,small passenger trains and doing shunting duties till the end of the 1990s after which the wdm2s took over.When IR again returned to emd , they were able to obtain a TOT which meant they could be made in india at DLW varanasi.Thus the wdg4 was the first ever mainline production emd in india after the wdm4 40years ago.A similar model GT46PAC classified as wdp4 were imported for passenger service as well and the wdg5,wdg4d,wdp4b and wdp4d followed on.In 2018 IR decided to convert wdg4s which were due for midlife rehabilitation to wag11s and 12001 was also on the list but after many requests by railfans,the railway board decided to preserve it as a heritage loco post its service life and 12005 was another survivor which is in service today.With stupid electrfication going on and newer wdg4g and wdg6g locomotives being produced these emds seem to be going pretty strong as they are easy to maintain,have many modern technological features and are fuel efficient.It is always a treat to listen to emds for any railfan and I feel that emd and ge locos are going to dominate the tracks even in the future.Awesome video!!I always wanted to see the cab of 12001 and you have made that dream come true.Try to do a coverge on 12005.Let me tell you the wdm4s also sounded very similar to the wdg4s and current emds.Unfortunately they can be viewed only in a museum.
