Subject: Some notes on the WDP 2
Date: 26 Dec 1998 04:43:13 -0500
Gang !
The WDP 2 picture was given to me by I.S. Anand of Mumbai, whom I am
trying desperately to join the IRFCA. He has mounds of such 'inside'
info. But lack of a computer/internet and preference for other
priorities sadly prevents him from joining us right away.
The looks of the WDP 2 are clearly derived from the WDG 4 (the yet to
arrive or being assembled GT 46 MAC). Thus there would be some family
resemblance. Given the quantity that the IR consumes, India would be
awash soon with this family of similar lookers. The IR seems to have a
fetish for waist height headlights. The WAPx and this locos have low
level headlights. WAP 1-3 frankly looks very ugly (in my opinion only -
hold those stones please) because of the low headlight and the attempted
streamlining. With this loco IR seems to have accepted the twin sealed
beam type headlamps which are standard all over the world but in India.
How great this loco and the WAP 1 - 3 would have looked, had they got
the headlights at the roof level. Come to think of it ALL the Indian
locos WDM 2s, WAM 4s, YDM 4s, DMUs would look great with the twin sealed
headlamps high near the roof line. The flasher would have to be mounted
even higher. The prime mover of the WDP 2 and its alternator is fully
hooded - there is no catwalk outside, there may be a aisle inside but
there are no portholes or windows. How does the aisle go within the
radiator room ? Note also the one piece cattle guard rather than the
lattice item that is standard on the IR, this is more like a snow
plough. The ladder to the cab is the familiar 'climb up, shift to the
left in the midair, push the heavy door open and then enter' type of
item. All this while the driver /assistant carries a heavy bag on their
shoulders while boarding the loco from some goods/ shed line without
platform. The large trunk that carries the driver's supply would also be
loaded similarly.
Are there any twin cab locos in the world in which the two cabs are not
connected by a corridor ?
The single headlight standard on the IR is 250 Watts. What is the power
of the twin sealed units and whether there is a site regarding
international locomotive lighting ?

Comments on the WDP-2 - it definitely looks like the WAP
series of locos only a lot uglier ! Part of the reason has to
be the livery of the loco - I presume IR is going to use it
in red or blue but please no dark green ! Also there appear
to be two headlights - one in the middle and one on top.
The loco might be superior in terms of hp and other stuff
but I will always remain a WDM-2 fan !

10 killed in India as train rams into bus
Saturday, December 26, 1998
SF Chronicle
(12-26) 01:48 EST NEW DELHI, India (AP) -- A train
rammed into a bus that was crossing railroad tracks
in eastern India today, killing 10 people and
injuring five others, domestic news agencies
reported.
Railway officials said impatient bus passengers, who
had been waiting for an ``all clear'' signal at the
crossing, snatched the keys from the guard and
forcibly opened the gate to pass through, the Press
Trust of India reported.
While the bus was crossing the tracks, a freight
train came at full speed and crashed into the bus.
The accident occurred near Dhanbad in eastern
Bihar state, about 660 miles southeast of New Delhi.
All the victims were bus passengers. The train's
speed was not immediately available.

Issue 116 of the US magazine "Extra 2200 South" has a couple of black &
white photos and a paragraph on the new IR locomotives coming from EMD
in London, Ontario, Canada. The locos are on wooden cribbing on
flatcars.
If anybody is interested, I can scan the photos, put them in my web

Hi Annie,
And season's greetings. Sure, we've all had problems with unruly
children. The worst, without doubt, are railway kids. Blackspots for
them
include Daund, Kurduvadi, the railway settlement just south of Udaipur
City,
and, no doubt, numerous others. But I can tell many stories of the kids
being good. Most spectacular was a spot out near the end of the
Ranchi-Lohardaga mineral line, where a whole kindergarten class, with
teachers, came and sat behind us during a prolonged session -- and we
didn't
get a peep out of them. I've had similar success with small groups of
adults
and older children, especially if things are explained to them. Taking a
picture of them helps, too.
You can never predict, of course, and there have been some places
where
ambient kids simply made any kind of photography or recording
impossible.
It's simply a matter of playing it by ear.
Cheers
Ken Walker

Nice Picture! Saw this being constructed at DLW in February. Paint
scheme
is different than any I've seen before. Any idea how many are on order?
As a side issue, when I was in Ahmedabad, I saw a WDM2 with a US style
low
nose (not the wide nose of the rebuilds that IR or DLW did). At DLW
there
were also a couple of more cabs and noses in the same style. Has anyone
else seen these?

That is the flasher light (50 Watts) the driver is supposed to switch on
to attract
the attention of the oncoming train, in the eventuality of a mishap. The
flasher is
also switched on when the two locos shunting in close proximity like on
a yard line.

Yo Larry, did you go inside the shell at DLW ? I am curious about the
location of the
corridor between the two cabs, specially how it crosses the radiator
room. What must
be the prime mover in this loco - same Alco V 16 with a improved turbo
? What other
improvements - regearing for passenger duties, high adhesion bogie
(required for a
passenger loco ?), electronics ??
I remember that the bogie/ truck of a WDG 2 is very much different from
the WDM 2. It
is much longer and the three wheels are evenly placed. It is the same
bogie that the
WCAM 3 uses. Will get pics of that soon. From this pic the bogies seem
similar to the
WDG 2 items.

I can only imagine that loco, the latest at Pune have been the 'rounded
forehead' WDG
2 and I have heard of of a normal 'half a hexagon' WDG 2 sighted at
Lonavala. Did the
low nosed locos that you saw at ADI have the rest of the body of a WDM
2?

This was a promotional release of the Southern Railways which I have
scanned. Remember
that the Egmore - Trichy MG section used to host the fastest MG trains
in India, the
Vaigai and the Pandian Express. So I suppose the quality conscious SR
would like to
continue the same tradition of fast and long trains now that they are on
the BG. The
GOC shed is one of the the most qualified on the IR to maintain such
locos. However
the WDG 4 (the EMD SD 45 MAC) would be homed at Hubli in the very near
future. Note
that the Gooty shed has transferred all (or most) its WDM2 to the
Guntakal shed (which
was vacant with the demise of the MG). The GY shed now homes WDG 2s. Do
you see a
pattern here ? To run high capacity freight trains in the SCR and the SR
?
The average size of a freight near us today is approximately 40 wagons
of BCN / BCNA
class. Increasingly I observe WDM 2s handling freight even on the
electric sections. A
coupled Pune shed WDG 2s pair work freight trains almost at the same
time daily from
Pune to Karjat and back. The Down freight train can be seen between
Khadki and
Shivajinagar at around 1500 Hrs. I suppose this is the only time slot
available for
the freighter.
One more news is that soon we will have WCAG 1 locos in the Mumbai -
Pune - Igatpuri
sector. Although this is just a rumour but I would believe that these
will be regeared
WCAM 3s with probably more gradual transitions so at to allow really
heavy freight
trains up the ghats.

Hi folks,
As a tram fan, I strongly favour LRVs and even heavy rail where
needed. I
have long thought that Els would provide a quick and utilitarian
solution to
the suburban transport problem in Indian cities. The Calcutta Metro
project
proved just how disruptive a sub-surface approach could be under Indian
conditions. New investment in the tramway system could probably acheive
more, much more cheaply. The new Madras urban rail link is partly on
elevated structure, though in modern concrete.
However, given Indian loading conditions and the probable weight of
the
trains, the structures are going to look more like New York than
Chicago, as
the latter uses lightweight stock. To get a flavour, go out to East
Broadway
in Jamaica, NY, and look at the overhead junction there. Even with
modern
materials such as reinforced concrete, this is big, heavy stuff.
Another option, and not directly competitive, is to borrow from
Curitiba
in Brazil, where the city has instituted a sort of "bus rapid transit"
system, using reserved lanes in the roads, physically separated from
other
traffic, and with an organised system of platforms, etc. It has
apparently
been very successful, freeing the buses from their major defect, getting
bogged down in traffic. (it can't deal with the acute discomfort of most
pongmobiles, though!) I doubt if the Curitiba system could help
alleviate
urban congestion in the big metropolises by itself, but it could help
get
some of the load off overcrowded rail corridors, that would still be a
gain.
Someone mentioned rail access to the airports -- this would be a
real
boon, as would anything that stopped the sorts of rackets that go on in
places like Bombay.
Seasons greetings to all
Ken Walker

The green and white color scheme as seen on the WDP2 pic is the norm for
all Golden Rock shed diesels, regardless of gauge. I was told by running
staff at Chennai Egmore that Southern Railway may have a few units in
the Blue and White Shatabdi and red and white Raj color schemes.
Trivandrum, Ernakulam, Palghat, Bangalore and Mangalore may also be
visited by some WDP2s. I'll keep my eyes open for any sightings of the
WDP2 at Egmore. My office is just down the road from Egmore stn and I
usually spend an hour or so everyday just wandering along the platforms.
The BG diesels rest right at the end of Platform 1 which is great for
train spotting.

Has Egmore started trains of BG - How does a BG train coming onto the
