This WDP 4D #40014 is India's first dual-cab High Horsepower (HHP) locomotive dispatched On 31 August 2010, Built under license from General Motors (GM) Electro Motive Division in India. Known for its robust performance, this locomotive is part of the WDP 4D series, which is specifically designed for passenger services with higher speeds and better fuel efficiency.

The 40014, named "Pratham", rolled out after being idle for more than 14 months in the shed, making its reappearance even more significant. After this long hiatus, the locomotive returned to active service with a

fresh purpose, proudly sporting its new livery in honor of Lance Naik Praveen Sharma.

The extended period of inactivity adds to the locomotive's symbolic return, marking a moment of revival, both for the machine and the tribute it carries. The locomotive's reintroduction into service, The striking new design features a cherry red base, complemented by grey accents, and is detailed with black and yellow stripes cum decals. This visual tribute is a powerful reminder of the nation’s respect for its armed forces, now not only represents cutting-edge rail technology but also carries a deep message of national pride and remembrance.

Its return to duty came with the 14029 Shri Ganganagar - Delhi Junction Express, and after reversing at Rewari, it continued with the 14030 Meerut Cantt - Shri Ganganagar Express, signifying its re-entrance into regular service after over a year of dormancy. This significant re-debut reinforces its place as a symbol of both technological achievement and a tribute to India's soldiers.
