This was an experimental class developed out of the WDM3D by IR on the ever-lookout for more power, all equipped with High Adhesion bogies and roof-mounted DBRs.
However, they never entered serial production.
Some suggest that the WDM3E is actually called “WDM3D without Equalizer” or WDM3Ds with 3500 hp power.
The known road numbers in service for this class are #11306 to #11311 and #11263.
All are marked WDM3D and all are used to haul only freights with speed restricted to 85 km/h.
They look exactly like the WDM3D and share all its features.
