WDP4 20006 Takes 6 Attempts to Start Up | Amazing GT46PAC EMD 710 Engine Sounds

The very elusive Hubli's WDP4 20006, one of the first WDP4s in India and manufactured in Canada over 20 years ago, can be seen here preparing for its morning run as it works as an offlink with the Chikmagalur-Yesvantpur Express.

For some reason the engine refused to settle into idle and kept turning off, but the crew managed to sort out the issue on the 6th attempt, and ensure the train departed right on time. For the railfan, this was an amazing aural treat since EMD engine cranking sounds are very unique.

Thanks for watching!

[arunabhapaul]

Maybe winter season is the reason behind it
