The EMD GT46PAC or WDP4 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 as their classes WDP-4, WDP-4B and WDP-4D. WDP4D is a group dedicated to the dual cab EMD Locomotives WDP4D of Indian Railways. Earlier, most of the loco-pilots, technical staffs used to criticize the WDP4 locomotives for poor visibility in Long Hood Forward (LHF) Mode, later a new version WDP4B with more power and wider cab were built, but WDP4D was the complete solution as it had dual cab and more power. As it has dual cabs so visibility was no more a problem, moreover its technical specification almost resembles with WDP4B locomotives. * ICF - Integral Coach Factory, Chennai. ** CBC - Centre Buffer Coupler *** LHB - Linke Hofmann Busch coaches
