I also was a 12 years old that time mad about trains and locos but no knowledge about types of locos and all other stuff it was in 2005 when only Alcos used to rule my place (Vasco) and I didn't know the term Alcos or WDM, etc only their colours mattered to me and to me those were the only diesel locos but then for the first time went to Londa and saw freight trains hauled by some different diesel locos ie. EMDs and fell in love with them but was feeling very bad they did not enter my town.
But by God's grace some one or two months later saw a freight train at Vasco hauled by these two...
more... EMD locomotives which earlier required three Alcos and that day I was very happy it was like dream come true for me and now these EMD beasts have become freight lords here in Goa.
