I'd expect GOC to be allotted WDP-4D.
Imagine TVC Raj or a Garib rath with a GOC livery 4D at the head.

It is only after the fifth notch that the turbo pressure builds up. This smoke seems to be a result of notching up very rapidly to the fifth notch. The smoke gets cut off as the governor cuts in. The WDM2 in the good old days had a more relaxed setting of the governor. Now a days the governors seem to be very sensitively set ( fuel economy) and cut in to prevent excess fuel consumption.
