One of the most powerful locomotive of the Indian Railways: 6,350 horsepower Lallaguda WAG-9 (31137)..... Also, three Kalyan WAG-7 bankers (27397, 27117, 27254) which add another 15,000 horsepower..... These four locomotives seem to be having a tough time hauling an oil tanker rake with 50 wagons plus 2 cabooses up the ghat. The squeaking and roaring sounds together seem as if the locomotives are grumbling and complaining, but still not ready to give up as yet.. Look at how the bright green WAG-9 along with the dirty green tankers match so well with the green grass and nature around it.. The location is near Khandala station.. Only about 15 minutes after this spotting, I saw another goods train with exactly the same load (50 tankers + 2 cabooses) going up the ghat behind this one. The second train was also banked by 3 WAG-7 locos, but leading it were twin Kalyan WCAG-1 locomotives. That one passed reasonably faster than this one.. Date of video: 7th September, 2014
