It was a delight to spot a repainted clean machine (a.k.a WDP-4D #40362) with the train. Also, the great advantage of this successful spotting is a long halt of this train at AP for 15-20 mins due to delayed signal clearance.

I had already observed the loco link of the same train from my home when it went to Nanjangud as Train 06300. Henceforth, it was easy to plan and spot it.

Also, I will be sharing the photos of the new modified Train Board (TB). Yes, it shares RSA with Dharwad Express (17301/17302) and Basava Express (17307/17308). Here's the complete updated RSA chain:

07358 - 17302 - 06300 - 06299 - 17307 - 17308 - 06276 - 06275 - 17301 - 07357

1) 07357/07358 - Belagavi (BGM) Dharwad (DWR) Special
2) 17301/17302 - Mysuru (MYS) Dharwad (DWR) Express
3) 06299/06300 - Mysuru (MYS) Nanjangud Town (NTW) Special
1) 17307/17308 - Mysuru (MYS) Bagalkot (BGK) Basava Express
1) 06275/06276 - Mysuru (MYS) Chamarajanagar (CMNR) Special

I request the admin consider the above RSA information and the Train Board (TB) photos.

Will also share the idling sounds of WDP-4D #40362 as well.

#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.

Background Story: I first spotted 06300 MYS-NTW Special at around 9 AM from my house at a far distance, I observed that the loco was in original livery and had only a single cab (in LHF). I then immediately informed my Local RFs and train friends about it and planned to set out and spot it when the same train returns back at around 11:30 AM. I set out at 11:15 and finally waited for it. In my mind, it was fixed that it could be a Dual cab WDP-4D. When the train came into the scene, I was surprised, shocked, and tremendously happy. It was an OFF-LINK UBL Original imported EMD #20005 loco in SHF. The train passed very slowly, and slowly accelerated after crossing me. I felt that the train probably slowed down due to some obstacle OR other thing.

But YES !! My long-pending desire to spot a UBL WDP-4 with OG cab was fulfilled !!! That too at a time when some of the good original locomotives of Hubballi have been transferred to Tughlakabad DLS (TKD).

Hope you guys liked this off-link surprise !!!
Thank you ALL !!!

ALERT !!
Here's the complete rake Sharing of this train. Requesting the admin to update this (these special trains [ 06300/06299 & 06276/06275 ] are unconfirmed whether they will be permanent or not). But kindly informing you the RSA.

17302-06300-06299-17307-17308-06276-06275-17301

Basically they are utilizing the basava/Dharwad express rakes as passenger specials towards Nanjangud/Chamarajanagar side to avoid stabling at MYS.
