Sometime back when ER started usage of 3000 volts DC,twelve DC electric locos of EM 2 Class were obtained from English Electric/ Vulcan Foundry.These were re-wired for CR's 1500 volts system,and sent to Mumbai area,where they worked for years ( BBVT-PA/ IGP sections ).I saw one at BBVT in 1998,and I was amazed that it featured push-button pantograph handling.These were of full 3600 hp like EM 1s ( WCM 1s ) and Hitachi built EM 3s ( WCM 3s ).
