Who is the uploader of this picture? Thanks for the New Year gift and the loco looks purely amazing. Infact the tallest loco to have appeared on Indian Railway.

WCM-1 was full black with a red strip..

This WCM-5 livery was dark brown with a yellow strip till late 80's...watch movie DEEWAR(1975) of Amitabh for first 45 min,there is a small shot of this loco hauling a train

the loco pilot is also quite amused at this railfan....

Agree with Jattin Bhai that since 1980's I have never ever seen this type of WCM5. This loco design was seen in films like Aaye Din Baahar Ke" in 1967. My father says that in 1970's he never saw this livery of WCM5. Later it's look was remodelled from 3 small windows to 2 big seperate windows and it was painted in yellowish white and blue colour till this beautiful loco got scrapped. Bharath Moro had uploaded the snap of KYN WCM5# 20090 a few months back which was of March 1979.

Thanks for this picture. Monstrous & frightening loco I have to say.

Can anybody explain this livery...
Since 1980 I have seen DQ in its famous and the best Ambulance livery.

Lovely Picture Thanks for Sharing.
