Saw a BGKT WDG4 reversing its BCNA rake inside FCI godowns and a 18712 of VATVA WDM 3A is holding its BCNHL rake on the loop line since 10 am till now. I don't know what's keeping it on hold and idling since morning.

Yes. It was idling since morning when I first spotted it till 4.30 in the evening when I again passed from there, and still it was there and idling with BCNHL on its tow. I dunno what was holding it there for that long.Yes. Too much wastage of diesel.

I am not sure about WDM 3A , but a WDG4 saves fuel by reducing its RPM to as low as 200 when idling. All I can say that the ALP was checking its fuel tank gauge in the evening.
