It's raining Ratlam Jumbo these days. Nice one Ujjawal. Thanks for treating us with Jumbo pics.

Apurva, So why is it that WDM2 or its derivatives are not used on the down gradient? Isn't it a waste of these technologically superior and more powerful locomotives to be used only for braking purposes and returning back light?

Fantastic !

Five locos are used to provide maximum braking efforts. This combination is never used for hauling the climbing train as the excessive power could damage the couplers.

@Mr. Anant - You have forgot one very important thing - Loco Classed WCG2 from 20104 till 20160 are still alive, albeit, with many of them being decommissioned and also kept in museum. Eventhough only around 30 locos are alive, still, IR may not want to use this number series at present. Also a circular from Rly board was issued to this effect to continue numbering from 40000 onwards
