For a change - here is SR's oldest WDM 2, 18209, 37 years older to 16885, built in 1961 by ALCO, originally homed at Gooty, later transferred to Erode in 1969 after creation of SCR. Still going strong. Seen here hauling Mangalore-Trivandrum Parasuram Exp as she halts at Irinjalakuda. Photo by Sandep Mohan
