The train while departing ... suddenly slowed down to zero in front of me, I thought whether is it the case of chain-pulling, eventually the loco gave a long honk and accelerated beautifully, and departed out of AP.

I was lucky enough to spot the Police Bus 4D after quite a long time. I remember it spotting for the first time back in March 2022. It was then newly repainted to Police Bus livery and had another WDP-4D loco trailing as an emergency, as it was under testing.

So, 1 year of Krishnarajapuram's Police Bus livery WDP-4D locos then !!!

Sharing the humming and notching sounds of the EMD locomotive.

Also, I'm sharing the photos of this train's new Train boards (TBs), and mentioning the exact train RSA system.

#20062 WDP-4 is probably the only single cab EMD of Krishnarajapuram (KJM) shed to bear the latest sensation Navy-Blue livery of KJM, also jokingly called as Police Bus livery. Generally Police bus livery was first given to Dual cab WDP-4D locos of KJM shed.

I personally love the police bus livery because, the dark shade on EMD looks beautiful, it also reminds me of some Baaz liveried EMDs of Siliguri loco shed (SGUJ), particularly WDP-4 #20012.
