WDP4 rescuing OVERLOADED Freight : Indian Railways
click here
.
The twin WDG4 combined 9000 HP piglets were struggling to pull the heavily Over loaded BCNA Freight train . KJM WDP4 20060 came on a rescue mission to act as a Banker to push the Freight train out of the Station.
.

I waited for almost 1 hour to capture the Banking action but the freight was not given clearance to move hence gave up on capturing.

Re# 1088031-3              
yes I'm also thinking how come 2WDG-4 not able to haul a freight that also not a long haul...& if it was overloaded then from origin itself the loco should be unable to haul...must be a case of loco failure or otherwise hard to beilive 9000 HP cant haul 3000 MT load.

9000 HP is too much for 3 k MT. one loco is sufficient unless there is a steep gradient, where one Helper will b required.
Either one loco was having problem, or else, something else is fishy here.

    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.
