Rail fanning at Dudhsagar [2/4]

The long empty BOXN rakes led by Penta headed UBL WDG 4. All 5 different liveries of WDG 4 can be seen! It passes through a very scenic location.
As far as i know this is the most powerful combination of Diesel locos in India each loco is of 4000HP, The 4th loco from the beginning is named as 'Natraj' which is 500HP more than its brothers. No where else in India 5 engines working together can be seen!
The wheels are made to slip on purpose to obtain maximum traction!

  • i check all info about natraj engine that is wdg 4 12119 its 4000 hp only. engine # starts with 40xxx and name should be WDG4- B or WDG4-D are 4500 hp.

  • @bhunu9867938341 : 12114 & 12119 were the first WDG4's to be equipped with IGBT Traction converters & these were the prototypes! This adds 500HP :)

  • Awesome video. Great Effort. Thank You. I've personally not seen such a sight ever before on Indian Railways, infact would have found hard to believe before I saw this. I do not think this is being done any where else on IR. Great Capture. Deserves Kudos. Nice Music and wonderful location and great camera work and steady hands. All components coming together to make a great video

  • @anirban1choudhury : Thank you very much :)

  • do you have pics of nilambari?

  • @bhunu9867938341 : No..
