The Vijayawada (BZA) WDG-3A locomotives, painted in an orange/cream/orange livery, #14572R & #13024, are currently stationed at Rajahmundry Outers. Regrettably, both locomotives have been retired from service due to their age.

Locomotive #14572R is a relic from 1997, originally designed as an Ex-Baldie. It underwent a rebuild at DLMW, Patiala in February 2017, is equipped only with air brakes, and has Daulat Ram DBR & APU fittings.

On the other hand, #13024 features dual brakes, underwent its Periodic Overhaul (POH) at GOC Workshops in August 2011, and originally hailed from KJM. Unfortunately, it was condemned in May 2023.

In the life of a railfan, one of the rarest events is witnessing a nearly extinct Baldie type locomotive before it becomes a part of history forever. Here we can see Moula Ali (MLY) WDG-3A #14571 "Baldie" + #13414 powering the 07195 Kazipet - Dadar Central Special Fare Special (Via Nizamabad) that is running nearly 4 hours late. The train is chugging out of Thakurli and heading towards Thane for its next scheduled

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
