List of all Diesel Locomotive in India with Images - TONTUF Vehicles News

Hello guys, In this blog I have shown you my list of all Diesel Locomotives which have been used by our Indian Railways for several years. Some of them have stopped working and some are still in our services

Before reading I thanks to Wiki and Indian Railways for providing Images and Information of their locomotive, and Indian Railways for providing such a great service in India.

We love India and Indian Railways, This blog is written in 2019 so there must be some time differences. Hopefully, I will try to update it.

WDG 5 (Bheem)

With an output of 5,500 bhp, the WDG5 is the strongest diesel locomotive ever to run on the Indian rail network. In combination with its record high tractive effort of 560 KN, it can pull significantly more load at higher speeds, thus enabling Indian Railways to increase the system throughput in the rail network.

Developed by Diesel Locomotive Works and supported by Electro-Motive Diesels. The series is Nicknamed as BHEEM, after great warrior from the Indian Epic Mahabharat. These locomotives are based on EMD SD80MAC. Their prime mover is a 20 cylinder EMD 710. their model name is EMD GT50AC. Progress Rail gave this name to WDG5 BHEEM. It means:-

G = Narrow body with cab at ONLY one end T = Turbocharged Engine 50 = V-20 version of EMD 710 (EMD 20N-710G3B-EC) AC = AC Electric Traction
