An over-powered 8 caboose rake!!

Triple WAG5 Bankers: (3850x3=11550)
WCAG1 = 5000 (in AC mode)

Total = 11550 + 5000 = 16550 HP for a 8 Caboose (BVZI) load.

No Karan,Its a thought being rethinked again and again via trial runs coz Ranichennama and UBL intercity as seen above are running late almost everyday by 30-45mins.Thereby WDG4 link for long rakes especially might make sense as well as makeup time lost!

Is it that DLW has manufactured WDG4s in excess or the shortage of WDP4s that is making IR take such decisions? If this tredn continues it would be better to name both classes of these locoas as WDM4!

These gangmen can surely use all the rest they can have, before the back breaking job of tumbling the sleepers overboard on a slow moving train.

Soemtime in Aug'07, the UBL passenger was running with a DG-4 link, I'm not too sure if it was just a link issue or a trial, but I saw it twice that month on that route.
Interesting to note that a DG-4 is now inline for a promotion!
