WDM-2 and Variants

Man and his wonderful machine : A KJM shed engineer and a WDM-2 17311.

Missing the diesels...Post electrification, it has become difficult to spot the good ol' Alcos....so the refreshing green WDM-2s from BKSC made a welcome sight at BBS. 2006-01-17, Bizzy.

Deccan Odyssey's Pune based WDM2-17575 at Hyderabad Deccan, 2006-01-25, Abhijnan Ray

I have heard of locos with no shed markings, but a loco with two shed markings????

Today's SJ Rajdhani from NDLS had an unusual link. Ratlam's WDM2a 16806 was the chosen one.

The WDM 7's are very interesting locos. Look at the strange short hood. Everything in the loco is a little bit smaller than the WDM 2. The short hood is smaller and has no dynamic brakes.

Look at the diesel tanks and air reservoir of WDM 7. They are much smaller than those on WDM 2

Who's there? Ernakulam's WDM emerges from the rock cuttings on the approach to Nagothane
