[IRFCA] Express Train Loco Cab Ride, Inside Alco WDM3A, Loco Pilot Operates Diesel Locomotive!!

A Short Loco Cab Ride in Alco WDM3A diesel locomotive, loco pilot operates the locomotive with notching up the throttle and applies brake to stop the train.
About Alco WDM3A:-
The class WDM-3A is Indian Railways' workhorse diesel-electric locomotive. Since 1993, it has been manufactured in India by the Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), Varanasi. The model name stands for broad gauge (W), diesel (D), mixed traffic (M) engine. The WDM-3A is the most common diesel locomotive of Indian Railways. The WDM-3A is a later classification of earlier WDM-2C.These units have been retro-fitted with dual brakes, in addition to the air and vacuum brakes. The WDM-3A locos have a maximum speed of 120 km/h (75 mph). The gear ratio is 65:18.
The loco is now widely used across India for long-distance passenger trains due to its ruggedness and high tractive loads and acceleration.

I think this Vedio is very old one feel like 2016 something- because I do remember someone has comments of loco pilot nail.

[@kushtarwani411]

Yes you are right

Nice bro 👌👌👌👌👍👍👉😘😘😘😍😍😍

[@sridharraghavan3106]

Nice capture Bipinbhai. Any reason why regenerative braking was not applied and the loco pilot exclusively used the train brakes only??
Out of curiosity, in electric traction, the energy generated is returned back to the grid, what happens to this regenerative braking power generated by diesel locos.?

[@AbhinavLHB]

In Electric Locomotives, unless it is a 3-phase AC loco or a few modified DC Tap Changer loco (25 kV AC in panto); you cannot generate electricity during dynamic braking and then feed it to the grid.
While in case of the diesels, there are dynamic brake (DB) resistors. The electricity generated during dynamic braking is fed to those DB resistors, the resistors get heated up. The heat is then transferred to the atmosphere with the help of DB blowers.
The loco-pilots generally hate to use dynamic brakes mainly due to the lack of awareness and also due to the excessive sound generated by the blowers during application of the dynamic brakes.
However, in the ghat sections LPs are bound to use it. Moreover, in NFR there are strict instructions to use EMD locomotives (WDP4, WDG4 etc.) over the ALCo locomotives (WDM3A, WDG3A, WDM3D etc.) due to their very effective dynamic brakes, they can bring a train to nearly almost standstill condition.

Sir how u getting permission in locomotive cn u tell

Alco locomotive WDM3A

[@debayandas3008]

it is an old vid

[@Retired88M]

Who was blowing the horn?

[@prateekchoudhary2981]

Your mom

[@Retired88M]

If you watch the engineer closely his hands never leave the console unless the horn button is on the floor and he does it with his feet

[@Retired88M]

Wise guy Prateek

[@railfanpg]

Alco locomotives takes too much time acceleration .😕
