Seems like the loco is getting refuelled.

It looks like a miniature WDP3.By the way,there is no class designation.

Hey, isn't Trichur electrified now.

It's actually a WDG3E. From when did Express trains start getting WDGX locos?

The working rule on the Braganza ghat says that the leading loco during the descent and the banking loco during the climb have to be equipped with the AEB. The loco is probably attached at Londa on the rear of the loco so that once it unloads at Sanvordem (or Vasco ?) - the KJM power would just work the empty rake through the ghats all the way to Hospet. The rake would be banked through the ghat (climbing) with AEB equipped WDG 3As - but the KJM power would be leading during the climb.

BEAUTY.

That handle with the white Head is very similar to the handles found in the Mumbai EMU ( AC / DC ). I wonder if a track inspection Driver is allowed to drive bigger systems like EMU or WAP serries ?

Awesome!

i guess thats the reason for erode changing its diesel loco colour scheme

And getting great results from their experiments too; this purple livery is very nice.
