I second Shankar in raising a toast to Bharat & Siddharta's site! A few
pointers expected on cameras, film, modus operandi etc..
Well, regarding photos#2 and #9, it seems very strange that BHEL
employed different color schemes and livery for the front face of
the WCAM2 against the WCAM3. I guess, with the external unpainted
appearance being the same for both locomotives, the only way BHEL
engineers and drivers themselves can make out the difference quickly, is
through the livery! With the front symmetric dipping curves being an IR
staple on locomotive fronts; BHEL is experimenting on designs! There are
other liveries not sporting the dipping curves - CR WAM4's for one; from
Bhusaval, Itarsi & Jhansi have the "lightning".. and Baroda WAM4's have
horizontal bands.. the WAP's don't have any curves!
Well, for that matter CR has a couple or more of WCAM2's running.. but
WR has no WCAM3s!! For once, WR has been receiving the short end of the
stick; against CR!
In photo #6, a unique liveried WAG7 is shown.. I have myself spotted
this beast (of Kanpur & Bhilai) on a couple of occasions at Basin Bridge
junction. The red and while 45-degree stripes derive inspiration from a
CP-Rail style livery that became famous on freight
lines in the American continent.. It helps in identifying a passing
train from afar.. Its nice to see IR look westwards for livery
inspiration!!

Subject: Drunk guard delays Kalka Mail
Date: 09 Apr 1998 20:25:00 -0500
Hi all,
An excerpt from Hindustan times......
a phanny incident... felt like sharing it here....
hope this doesnt get on to engine drivers :-)
bye
Raghavendra
Drunk guard delays Kalka Mail
NEW DELHI, April 8
The mighty machinery of the Indian Railways was brought to a screeching
halt last evening. And it took only one inebriated employee to do so.
The Kalka Mail, which was to leave Old Delhi Railway Station at 10.45
p.m. was held up for over 50 minutes because the train's guard was
drunk.
Apparently, Mr K. L. Bhardwaj, the train's guard, had one too many
before the departure and found himself unable to signal for the train to
move. While passengers wondered about the cause of the delay, Mr
Bhardwaj, said witnesses, got out of his cabin and started signalling.
In the wrong direction, that is. :-)
And so the railway police had to be called in and Mr Bhardwaj was taken
away for a medical examination. The doctor's report, which was turned in
later, not surprisingly stated that the guard was under the influence of
alcohol.
The rest of the delay was on account of trying to locate another guard
to man the post. And a frantic hunt finally resulted in the railway
officials finding Mr Ramesh Kumar, another guard who was off-duty at the
time.
Mr Kumar was explained the situation and he agreed to take the train to
Kalka. And the journey finally began, even if 50 minutes late.

Hello Paul,
And what do you know, I had visited the NRM in 1997 Nov, and have pics of all
the three exhibits you refer to.
Send me your postal address, and I shall mail them to you.
You are partucularly lucky, as I was. It so happened that the sweepers at the
NRM groundswere burning a pile of dried leaves and bracken in the background.
This was behind the WT, at quite a distance. After the print came back from
the lab, I was shocked to find that is appears as if the WT is in steam!White
smoke and all from dried leaves!
Best regards.
Shankar.

The WCAM3 was developed to a CR requirement.(Higher power in thhe DC
section, along with self-excited dynamic braking). The WCAM2,2p are
essentially WR locos, and used mainly on crack express-mail routes(as the
links permit). CR WCAM3's are heavily used for goods duties.

WR will shortly be converting the entire Bombay suburban section to DC(in
fact so will CR) and so the WCAM2p is probably a stopgap measure until
such is done, after which you can expect to see WAP's in Bombay Central!!!

I had read about it earlier, too. Do you know the time frame when it
will be implemented? How about converting existing EMUs? Will they be
installing AC Traction control gear in the motor coaches and keeping
the existing RPC (Resistence Power Control) to ensure immediate
availability after switch over?

Guys,
Great job. In particular, the picture of the WDM2 pair brings back fond
memories.
By the way, the new Jane's World Railways (1997-98) is out and the section
of India is down to 10 pages (a trend not restricted to India). Couple of
new pictures include a shot of WAP5(30010) hauled Rajdhani and a picture
of an incredibly ugly WDG2 (14501), which incorporates DLW's upgraded
2310 kW (3100 hp) prime mover.

Subject: Noticed in the latest Thomas Cook Timetable
Date: 09 Apr 1998 16:28:00 -0500
I just received the latest edition of the Thomas Cook Overseas
timetable, and noticed a few interesting tidbits in it:
1. The map of Iran shows that the line connecting Kerman to Zahedan has
been completed, but the timetable covering the line does not show any
passenger train operation beyond Kerman yet. In Pakistan there is a
weekly train called Taftan Express which runs ex-Quetta on 6 and
ex-Zahedan on 1. The tinings are Quetta d 12:00 Zahedan a 17:00+1 (i.e.
on 7) Zahedan d 09:30 Quetta a 14:30+1 (i.e. on 2). In Iran there is a
tri-weekly train from Teheran to Kerman, and there is a daily overnight
Bus connection between Kerman and Zahedan (20:00 to 04:00 both
directions)
2. In Pakistan there is this neat train called the "Khushal Khan Khattak
Express" Karachi-Peshawar which covers the 1679 Km in 14 Hrs and 15 mins
- not bad!

Sorry Everybody!! I did mean DC of course !! We wouldn't have WAP's in the
near future if the conversion were not to AC !! Anyway, the existing
suburban lines are all DC. I am not sure about the timeframe; anyone have
any idea ??

I did say HEAVILY used, NOT exclusively. They do have over 50 WCAM3's and
so one would expect wide usage. What I was also referring to was the fact
that WCAM3's are often sighted double-headed, and on a very large number
of heavy duty goods rakes. And also to the BHEL newsletter that spoke
about the fact that the extra power in the DC section was needed in
particular for the very heavy loads (ie. goods haulage).
I will get down to the Khar/BCT sightings in a while. I am extremely busy
right now.

Hello David,
Nice to hear from you again. I have the following info in my book on steam
locomtives: (Locomotives in Steam, pub:1981 by the Rail Transport Museum
(now NRM) Delhi):
CLASS/# YEAR BUILT BUILDER WHEEL ARR. TENDER

ZP 2 - 6 1955 Nippon Sharyo,Japan 4-6-2 6-wheel

ZE 42-47, 1955 Kawasaki Rolling Stock2-8-2 6-wheel
CR,SE 52-55 Japan
NOTES:
-Most of these engines, as I understand it, will be withdrawn by now,hence the
'service' column may not be too relevant in today's circumstances.
-I'm sorry I do not have the year-wise break down of the F engines.All were
built by Nasmyth Wilson, though.
Although you have not specifically referred to the engine,it might be of
interest to you to know that F 724 is preserved outside Poona (Pune) station
with the following caption:' BUILT IN 1921 AT M/S NESMYTH (sic) & CO
MANCHESTER
ENGLAND.THIS LOCO WAS PUT IN SERVICE IN KURDUWADI-PANDHARPUR SECTION IN
1923.IT
WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO MURTIJAPUR-YAVATMAL SECTION IN 1983.AFTER 73
YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL SERVICE THIS ENGINE WAS WITHDRAWN ON 13 APRIL 1994
WHILE IN
FULL STEAM DUE TO INCREASING PACE OF DIESELIZATION.THE LOCO WAS RESTED IN
IRICEN (Indian Railways Institute of Civil engineering) PUNE ON 23 DEC.1994.'
The 'built in 1921 and put on service in 1923' bit does not tally with what
the
book says (which might be more accurate), but then, thats the way info on
locos
is in India: I guess its OK as long as its not way off the mark.Accuracy
upto 5
years: is it good enough?

<P>Hi: Just a word about the second photo on your Indian rail

<BR>says, but a class YG 2-8-2 meter-gauge freight loco.........for

<P>Nice photo, though. Are you putting up any more ?
