More pics from last year's visit to the Kalyan Diesel Loco Shed.

  • The shock absorber springs on the bogie of a WDM2 - notice a set of springs inside the outer set.


  • Parts of a stripped-down WDM2:

  • The radiator fan.

  • BHEL-manufactured generators

  • Cylinder Heads inside the engine



  • The "bull gear" over the axle of a stripped-down WDM2. The drive turns the gear that ,in turn, turns the axle.

  • The drive of a stripped-down WDM2:


  • The "Sanding Box" of a WDM2. (A Sanding Box holds sand that can be used in case the rails are very slippery; the sand can be released by the press of a button in the cab; the sand comes out of the sand pipe positioned so that the sand falls just ahead of the wheels)
  • A CLA (Kurla) WDS4 shunter awaits its duties at the KYN DLS.

  • Siblings from the same stable: a WDM2 and a Shakti WDG3A
