Sir, GOC WDM-2 #16858 hauled the 14th August's 6345 LTT-TVC Netravati Express(pic is there in the gallery). So it is resting in the shed after its job. KYN WDM-2 #17590 hauled the 2619 LTT-MAQ Matsyagandha Express on 12th August(pic is there in the gallery). It might have gone to TVC by some mail/express from MAQ.

Great Shot. If both the trains were doing 80+ then I think it is the WADI-RAICHUR section where it is double line! Posted by Ranjeet Ramaswamy Iyer on 2007 Aug 21 01:23:15 +0000 |

ET has had them for a long time. Perhaps, you might want to check the gallery for more images? Posted by Abhijit Lokre on 2007 Aug 19 05:42:14 +0000 |

Standard IR nomenclature precludes the possibility of this loco being battery powered as evidenced by the presence of the A in the classification which can only denote an AC powered loco.Further,at the time this loco was manufactured,battery technology cannot have been so advanced(at least in India)as to be able to power a shunting loco and a battery powered vehicle needs to have sophisticated electronics to be able to run the vehicle properly which again can't have been available at BRC shed.I think this loco probably had resistance control and also had a panto and a transformer/rectifier which have been removed.

Nice catch !! Why is "A" used in class name ? Did she have a pantograph ?? Posted by Ashwanth on 2007 Aug 18 04:27:20 +0000 |

For that matter, even bus drivers don't use a RVM for reversing !! RVM in a loco helps the assistant pilot/pilot to keep an eye on the rake behind. Posted by Ashwanth on 2007 Aug 18 04:26:20 +0000 |

Good catch! What does the 'B' stand for in 'WAB'? Anything related to 'Battery' since there doesn't seem to be any space for a panto assembly ...? Seems like a good concept. Wonder why they junked it. Posted by Gautam on 2007 Aug 17 19:47:48 +0000 |

Binai 'ji' seeing the date 15-08-07, I assumed it to be taken on the same day.
