Rebuilt WDG 3A pair from Bezawada, cruises past! DLS BZA had always been a "small fish" in the diesel landscape of SC Rly, with the other sheds helming the most important duties. BZA held DEMUs and WDP 1s until recently. The WDP 1s were utilised for hauling intra-zonal and intra-divisional passenger trains mostly, almost never venturing out of SCR.
Both 14781R & 14572R belonged to Kazipet, which is devoid of any ALCOs now. Also, the leading power once had an active CReDI system [Common Rail electronic Direct Injection] by M/s Medha. At present, CReDI had been decommisioned from all locos which had them fitted, hence, please desist from quoting any ALCO with a green waist strip as "CReDI fitted".
Railfans Chirayu Kaskhedikar and Adishwaran Konar gave me company in this session at VS.
