A similar type, the EMD GT46PAC, has also been produced for passenger service in India. , EMD and DLW have begun building GT46Ace's using IGBT technology to replace the older Gate turn-off thyristor technology. Newer editions with have been produced. Over 600 WDG4 locomotives are currently in operation. ==History== WDG4s first started operations in 1999 with the numbering starting from 12001 (this loco can still be seen in a splendid condition and is homed at the parent shed of Hubli.) Hubli Diesel Locomotive Shed has been operational since 1999, and it houses the maximum number of WDG4s from 12001-12064, 12067-12153, 12156, 12169, 12189, 12227, 12276, 12311–12313, 12325, 12326. The original WDG4s from 12001–12021 were imported and later on DLW started manufacturing it indigenously. With six traction motors, this locomotive has the capability of touching with a fully loaded freight train of 58 wagons. The locomotive has been praised for its ability to work smoothly in regions with massive gradients, especially in the (Braganza Ghats) and the Subrahmanya ghats having a gradient of 1:37 and 1:50 respectively. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「EMD GT46MAC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
