*******Crucial Info about the Livery Design of Passenger Locomotive WAP 4*******
Introduced in 1994, these locomotives haul almost all long distance trains on IR. When introduced they had a cream/orange livery similar to the one found on present day WAP-1 locomotives. However some sheds chose to slightly modify this - the resultant livery with a narrower yellow band was common during 1999-2002.
In early 2002 the Erode(ED) shed decided to keep the factory finished livery on it's set of WAP-4 and furthermore decided to apply this livery to most of its old locomotives.

In addition to the deep red, this livery also features a narrow yellow band just below the ventilators. The loco number is stencilled in bold typeface in the centre. The cab door entry grab rails are also painted yellow.
This type of livery is now common across many of the sheds that hold the WAP-4 locomtives. The only obvious difference being the zone and the shed name.
An interesting variant of the livery comes from the Lallaguda(LGD) shed. The red has a predominantly pink tint and the silver grey roof ends in a kink on the front face of the locomotive. There is also an grey/sivler strip running across the length of the shell.
However, despite the standardization of the red livery across IR, some sheds still retain variants. For example Santragachi(SRC) shed, in addition to the red has the following liveries on quite a few of its locos.Unlike their diesel counterparts, quite a few electric loco sheds do not have logos. They only have the CLW build plate. However, exceptions are Erode and Baroda sheds. These sheds place their logos underneath the side cab windows.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
