IR WDP3A 15527 12481 ROK 210318

Tughlakabad WDP3A 15527 at Roktak Junction with train 12481, the 13:10 Delhi Jn - Shri Ganganagar Jn InterCity Express on Wednesday 21st March.2018.

 

All the WDP3As I've had over the years (20, almost half the class) have ranged from excellent to outstanding in the trhash department but this thing was a disgrace to their good name. It was absolutley pathetic: almost practically silent once flat out, chugless and really seemed oto struggle to get up to 100 km/h, with only load 15 in tow. It seemed to load up oddly and I do wonder if it had a control issue of some sort.

 

Due to the practically unworkable coaching link shared with the Fazilka and Haridwar ICs this was running 3 hours and 40 minutes late at this point, which in my experience seemd to be pretty typical!
