The usual causes of smoke being generated by an electric train is debris on the resistor banks burning off or by overheated brakes. Any smoke caused by these or any other reasons will rise inclined in the direction of any wind. On a windless day it will rise vertically. This phenomena was always very obvious in the days of steam traction. The smoke will rise in opposite direction in which the train is moving which in this case is West, assuming there is no wind blowing faster than the speed of the train.

jayaprakashsai: an electric train doesn't releases smoke
anujrn69: Second of all, if you mean a DIESEL-ELECTRIC engine, it doesn't matter what way the train is going. The wind can blow it in any direction just so long as the wind is moving faster than the train.

The ONLY time a truly ELECTRIC train would be emitting smoke is if it had shorted out and was on fire! ;)
jayaprakashsai: ok
