BRC WAG1, LKO WDM2, (?)WP. Rajeev, do you know where this was taken? Appears to be somewhere in the north. Interestingly, the WP appears to have been plinthed - judging by the flower pots around it.

is that a WDM2A or a 3A?then again i cant see any cateneries in the pic so wondering what the WAG1(pantos down)is doing over there..so seems like the 3 are assembled for the perfect pic...

That's a 2A, 3A's weren't in production then.

Great. Is this from some museum or an exhibition?

Looks like some some sort of exhibition - All locos are spic-span and shining, not a single speck of dirt. Also, the lack of catenaries for the electric loco seems odd. Awesome composition, nevertheless.

Supreme collections of locos of yesteryears. The black Beauty is really a beauty to watch. Thanx a lot Rajeev for your splendid black & white photo collections.

This pic is from Charbagh Workshop. That WP from the first batch supplied by Baldwin is still plinthed inside. A copy of the picture also framed at Charbagh Workshop. But the picture might date back to late 80s or early 90s when DLW just rolled out its last batch of WDM2 in 16xxx series and WAG1 were still in action. Charbagh Workshop started diesel loco maintenance in 1975, and electric loco maintenance in 1985, though electric reached Lucknow much later

Woow, the locos are decked up for some function. The WP is plinthed.
