---------- DOWN THE MEMORY LANE ------------
Sometimes when thinking about the Past many memories flash in my mind and in that mirror of my mind I visualize many Old Heroes which I miss now. One of those heroes are the 800 HP diesel hydraulic shunter of the IR, the WDS 4. So in this blog I am sharing some images of WDS-4

The 800 HP diesel hydraulic shunter of the IR, the WDS 4, in this case this is the Tondiarpet loco # 19700 which was used to haul and move the HHPDEMU (High Horse Power Diesel Electric Multiple Unit) rake on the left. The HHP is stabled at Royapuram and is here only to pick up 500 liters of diesel per power car (there are three in this rake).

My favourite loco. In Sealdah till 2010-11, Beliaghata WDS-4B / 4D shunted most of the trains from yard. The wheelset of this loco is similar to a steam loco. Nowadays, some of them are scrapped. Some are transferred to Kolkata Port Trust. Last, I saw this loco on 28th December 2012 at Tilak Bridge. It was AGC (most probably) WDS-4D.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
