Typically Mumbai ambience in the picture with the WCM 2 on lead.

This is the class of loco which had hauled my Deccan express from Pune to Kalyan way back in 1993(I had uploaded scanned images of that earlier).Nostalgic feeling...This resembles more like WDM1.

I use to call these locos as "Ambassador" in my childhood.
Thanks Dr. Yande and ashish for uploading.
These locos have very sweet memories etched with me.

Great. No loco comes even close to WCM in looks. Massive Beast...

Interesting point about visibility being an issue with loco design such as this.

Even I've always wondered how would the loco pilots manage to have a clear view ahead, with such a small inconvenient windshield and with a grill obstructing vision. I bet, it would be a challenge even now for loco pilots esp. while the locos run LHF. How do they confidently run the locos?

I particularly pity the LPs of WDP/G-4 especially when running LHF.

Awesome. dont u think visiblity wud hav been an issue with this? btw, this looks like a wdm jumbo.

Lovely pic !!! WCM 2 looking monster !!!!!

Thanks Mr. Shirish and Ashish for the snap. Great contrast between dull looking vacuum braked coaches and the monster WCM2. These monsters used to frighten me a lot by their looks and HT horns.

My all time favourite too. The nostalgia this photo invokes. Its like a classic car, timeless beauty.

My all time favourite...
