I just chanced on the previous photograph where WDM is clearly seen. This is a WDM6 after all!

I think this is a WDS6 and not a WDM6. and this is a Bo-Bo and not a Co-Co - you can see only 2 axle covers with the letters "IR" on it on each end.

Nice snap. But in any case, the senior Lp's who were driving the train will take charge of the relief loco's also and will maintain the MPS of the train/section/loco which ever is the lowest. no chance of yelling at a freight LP to run at 150 here. Maybe, the freight LP who had brought the relief loco, must have taken charge of WAP5/7 if that loco is able to move, or otherwise act according to the instructions given to them. There are very few occassions when the relief loco LP taking charge of the train itself.

Hi Abhishek, WAG-5 can do 105kph max. I really wonder how twin WAG5 of 7800hp strength must have accelerated with 14 lhb coach load.
