Western Railway's premier AC/DC workhorse. Includes photos of the WCAM-2 and the WCAM-2P
WCAM2P 21877 brings in the Bombay bound Shatabdi Express. Vadodara, 19/09/04. By Bharat Vohra.
Sheer piece of timing and luck produces such shots ! WCAM-2P's in action. Notice some of the nerds where actually footplating the loco(back of the loco) while it blasts off at a speed of nearly 80-90 kmph. I have never seen this stunts except on WCG-2's
Old livery Vs the New livery : Well, we have seen Old Raj liveried loco hauling new Raj liveried train. This is exactly the opposite! AK Rajdhani hauled by a LHB liveried WCAM-2P on a curve at the Vaitarna station. Vaitarna, 2005-01. By Sachin Balwatkar.
WCAM-2P #21873 in LHB livery did the honors of hauling the Shatabdi from Mumbai. Vadodara Jn, 2005-01. By Vivek Manvi.
BL’s WCAM2 21862 at Pune. Normally, WCAM1s do the honors for trains going from Pune towards Western Railway. This WCAM2P seems to be an one-off case. 11-11-2005
On a fine sunny morning, KYN WCAG-1 #21970 with a tanker rake in tow picks up speed after a small caution order stretch outside Atul station.
Blast from the past: On a foggy winter morning, original liveried WCAM-2p #21877 approaches Atul at speed with the 2009 BCT-ADI Shatabdi. 2004-01-03.
WCAM-2p #21870 brings in an overcrowded 9012 Gujarat express to a halt at Udvada. 21870 was initially classified as a "2p", then relabled a "2". Now it's back to a "2p".

WR's Pseudo-LHB WCAM2 #21869 deep in CR. This loco crossed by EMU between Ghatkopar and Bhandup and was hauling a long tanker rake. I saw the same loco in the evening at Kurla.
WCAM2 #21867 from Valsad speeds past Vasai Road station (and a few camera-wielding nuts!) with the Mumbai Central bound August Kranti Express. The roar of the EOGs were heard much before the Loco actually appeared!
WCAM2 #21868 pulls into Thane with a very long Tanker rake. The starter had just turned to double-yellow as the loco closed in.
2951 Mumbai Rajdhani rumbling through Lower Parel. Headlights on request! :-)
LHB liveried WCAM2 takes a breather alongside good friend from BRC at ADI. 2006-08. Vinod Bawne

Sequence 1 of 3. The Flying Ranee is bang on time and negotiates the curve at Andheri before its scheduled halt. The double decker coaches can be seen on the curve.
Sequence 2 of 3. The AC coaches and the first double decker coaches are now seen as the WCAM2 takes the curve into Andheri
Sequence 3 of 3. The dual braked WCAM2 21864 looks in fine shape as the morning sunlight reflects off it.
WCAM-2 #21866 rolls out with the Bandra-Nizamuddin Garib Rath. Borivali, Mumbai.
WCAM2P at the helm of Mumbai-New Delhi Rajdhani express overtakes Virar-Surat shuttle train hauled by a WCAM1 at Kelve Road. The speed of Rajdhani express was just about 50kmph. (Deep)
