WAG 6 technical sheet indicates that these locos use Thyristor Chopper technology with independent excitation for motors. In this case notching would not be present as semiconductors would control excitation of motor under variable load by varying excitation voltage. This arrangement coupled with Wheel slip detection might be useful considering WAG 6 work with heavier loads and steep grades of KK line. Posted by Anant K Singh on 2009 Aug 25 04:58:04 +0000 |

What a spacious cab... Posted by Samar on 2009 Aug 24 16:27:24 +0000 |

AFAIK, the WAG 6 series had SEPEX transmission, which is the ultimate in DC motor traction technology. Hence it could have a common motoring/braking control. The control stand is so compact! Note the classy spotlight on the top left illuminating the controls and the easy maintenance access hatch to the headlamps set in the roof. The circular wheel in the view is obviously the parking brake. Posted by Apurva Bahadur on 2009 Aug 24 16:20:48 +0000 |

My guess is that he is trying to calculate at what time and at which station will be the next crossing. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2009 Aug 24 14:49:19 +0000 |
