Here comes the video where you can very well appreciate how 2 heavyweight champions of Indian Railways are working in association with each other. 
After the completion of 12xxx series of WDG-4 locomotive, railways launched 70xxx series of WDG-4 locomotives. 
On 24th August 2014, on my Dongargarh Trip, I spotted a Raipur WDG-4 # 70003 standing at Rajnandgaon Station with ACC Cement Rake.
After a few hours the same WDG-4# 70003 named as Airawat is seen here pulling the ACC Cement Rake. But now there is someone who is helping from behind.
This is a Ajni (AJNI) based WAG-9 freight locomotive which is serving as a banker for this consist. 
The banker is provided because of ghat section and constant curves between Dongargarh and Gondia section which controls the heavily loaded freights from behind. 
The video has been taken from 1500 feet height from Hill of Maa Bamleshwari Temple of Dongargarh.
Time: 12:42 Hrs.
Camera: Nikon Coolpix L120
