----------------------------------------
A WDP-4B #40074 diesel-electric locomotive, based at Bhagat Ki Kothi near Jodhpur, charges toward Delhi hauling the Malani Express (Barmer-Jaisalmer-Delhi) past Shahabad Mohammadpur Station at 10:15 AM on March 28, 2015.  As the train is comprised of two separate trains merged at a midway station, the train bears the name "Shalimar Express and Malani Express".  Enjoy the track sounds at a higher volume.

This EMD GT46PAC is a passenger-hauling diesel-electric locomotive with AC electric transmission designed by General Motors Electro-Motive Division and built by both GM-EMD and under license by Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) of Varanasi, India for Indian Railways. A large component of the electronics on board this loco is from Siemens.

This micro-processor controlled 4500 hp diesel-electric locomotive is very fuel efficient and has minimal exhaust due to its 2 stroke diesel engine, and it is characterised by its loud horn which can be heard for long distances around, and its aircraft-like sound.
