I am basically a Elec. Loco lover, particularly WCAM3, but of course so many WDM2's - what a site.......Any particular reason for so many WDM2's together??? Are all for repairs/service/trip maintainance or just plain housed, and awaiting call of duty?

It's awesome to see so many WDM2's together.

Those are the V16's with ABB or NAPIER Turbo?

Lovely pic of countless WDM's lined up! Only thing thats worrisome is, going sheerly by the no. of locos in shed, KJM's outage doesnt seem that impressive somehow!!?

Electric lover Bharath can claim to have been to hell and back :-).

Pistons are normally Aluminium. The Block , Rings and Crankshaft are Steel. However they are still Mega & Giant size. That is why 16 of these give an HP output from 3000 to 4000 HP , depending upon the Model.

If a keen Mechanical Engineering student is given an oppourtunity to just work in this Loco Shed free of charge for six months, he or she will have acheaved knowledge equal to a Phd in Mega Diesel Engeneering. Massive ! ! !.

These are gigantic! Each one must be at least 50kg.
