Good collection Harsh! For me all three locos were totally unseen in real-time.

It is a WAM-2 made by Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Tohiba (HMT), It was based at Asansol. And I am certain, because this loco was regular with Udyan Abha Toofan Express.

A true gem indeed. Thanks for sharing. One small nitpick however: it is a WAG-2 and not a WAG-1. WAG-2, WAM-2 and YAM-1 all have similar body profile, though the YAM-1 is smaller.

Agreed! It deserves an FC status....

Gems from yesteryears! Can't they be moved to the "First Class" section?

Is this locomotive doing shunting duties here? For long WCG 1 were used here in Mumbai as shunters for passenger trains. Also, it seems WAM 2 is written on the loco. I maybe wrong, but thats what I can see written next to the road number at below the windscreen

This line was recently proposed for closure due to frequent casualties to wildlife in the park from speeding trains. Any idea as to its present status?
