Aburoad WDG3 #14871 pushing(yes pushing!)a loaded BOXN rake out of Vyara yard onto the mainline.There was a WAG7 at the head of the train but apparently this WDG3 is undergoing some kind of trial.Its been fitted with something called a "Turbo Super-Charger" and is temporarily booked to run as a WDM3D as per instructions of ABR shed.Hence,its hauling capacity is reduced.This seems to be a safe environment test as a failure would not result in detention as a regular loco is available at the head of the train.The guy leaning out of the window is the driver.
The Brake-Pipe of the loco is not attached to the formation.Braking is entirely in the hands of the driver of the leading WAG7.

Perhaps a different type/brand of turbo you mean which is underoing trials... But that doesnt reduce the hauling power.
Great solid-looking loco.
