How did you conclude that it's a banking loco?? Are you sure that it's not a loco which hauled it other side earlier since it's a new route and didn't have crossings/sidings for reversal?
If it is not a banking loco, why is it's pantograph connected to the OHE line? Is it doing Naagin dance?
I am open to corrections, but at first glance, I don't think the WAP7 in the rear is banking the train.
Even if loop lines etc are available, most trial runs on single lines are being conducted with locomotives at each end of the train. It just makes the job simpler and quicker. In some cases, many lines are being opened without completing the loop lines and their signalling (as these are not required straightaway due to the low traffic on the lines).

Apart from what Anirudh sir has said, new lines/electrification commissioning are not generally tested with single loco... And why does train with 9,10 coaches need Wap 7 as banking loco apart from one in front? :)
