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 |
