NEW_WAG.jpg

One of the early WAG-5 with the portholes like the WAM-4 . The number is I think 23008. BYPL, 4 Feb 05. By Rohit Mohan.

wag5_dual_bhillai_ngp_001.jpg

Another interesting scheme from Bhillai. A pair of WAG5s take a rake of empties out of Nagpur. As is obvious, you could spot this lot a mile away!. Nagpur, July 2004. By Alok Patel.

WAG5HA_new_livery_ngp.jpg

A one off job courtesy Arakkonam shed. This is WAG-5HA #23538. I hope they keep doing stuff like this. Relieves one of the drudgery of looking at the same old liveries every time. Nagpur, 2002. By Alok Patel.

WAG5_MU_tata_NGP.jpg

The Tatanagar WAG-5s. I think this has pretty much become the standard for Tatanagar locos. Strangely, Tatanagar seems to be transferring locos out by droves because I see Bhillai having locos with the same livery increasingly. Nagpur, 2003. By Alok Patel

WAG5_23163_Bundamunda.jpg

A Bondamunda WAG-5. Apparently a transfer from Tatanagar again. Ajni, Nagpur, 2002. By Alok Patel.

wag5_asn_bd.jpg

WAG-5 from Asansol waits for the Gitanjali Express to overtake it. Although the colours are pretty much standard for IR, this combo is very pleasing and the locos stand out everywhere. Badnera, June 2004. By Alok Patel.

wag5_asn_ngp2.jpg

WAG-5 from Asansol arrives at the starter at the goods yard. See how beautifully the loco stand out among the other drab locos. Nagpur, July 2004. By Alok Patel.

WAG5HR_LDH_NGP.jpg

WAG-5 HR 23014 from Ludhiana with a BCNA rake. The loco features Hitachi motors and has Rheostatic braking. Nagpur, 2002. By Alok Patel.

WAG5A_LDH_AMF.jpg

A WAG-5 from Ludhiana heads down the ghat out of Amla towards Nagpur. This livery is supposed to originally belong to Ghaziabad but was taken on by Ludhiana later. Amla, July 2002. By Alok Patel.

WAG5A_ASN_NGP.jpg

Why I love Asansol shed - These guys are never afraid to expirement. This is WAG-5A 23357 from Asansol shed of ER. I do not know if this was an expiremental Asansol livery though looks like it. Nagpur, November 2003. By Alok Patel.

wag5_hb_24036_jhs_ngp.jpg

Something closer home, WAG5 HB 24036 waits with a BCNA rake in the goods yard. For some reason, these locos do not appear with heavy coal rakes often. Nagpur, 14/04/2005. Alok Patel.
