WDG3A Screaming Dynamic Brakes and Heavy Smoking!

12 September 2015, Soldevanahalli, KA.
Train: 56225 Bengaluru-Tumakuru Passenger.

The afternoon service of the ever-popular Bangalore-Tumkur Passenger storms into Soldevanahalli with its loco for the afternoon runs - Guntakal WDG3A 13137. The loco can be seen screaming on dynamic brakes as it fights to slow down to a stop and eventually manages to stop just before the level crossing. 6 of the 18 coaches overshot one end of the platform which is designed for around 14-15 coaches. The train was running late by over 30 minutes and hence the pilots let the 3100hp ALCO loose as they took off from the station. Enjoy the hard braking and smoking show put up by this diesel monster! :)
