Goa 2005: A loaded, southbound BOXN rake arrives at Surawali level crossing hauled by the pair of Erode shed WDG 3As with the # 14944 in the lead. The solar cell array charges the batteries that power the automatic flasher/hooter triggered by the ACD (Automatic Collision Protection Device which is a GPS based train warning system) fitted in the locos. The black box on the left gate is the LED lamp flasher that automatically sounds and warns the road users about the presence of a train nearby.
