Departing from Bombay V.T. - WCM2 Footplate (July 1995)

[MrAchiniwalla]

Vijay, I didnt share it with you, but my great grand father drove the first ever train in India between Mumbai-Thane.. The British Govt had presented him a golden replica of the train, which we still have it till date.. a priceless family heirloom it is..

[vb642]

@MrAchiniwalla Oh, wow! That's a terrific achievement. I am sure you are very proud of that :-)

Appears to me that it must be have been difficult for the LP/ALP to see the tracks in front.

[vb642]

@rajnikantsharma I agree that it wasn't the best view - but they managed.

New Delhi-110021.

[abhaymohi]

@vb642 thankx once again, but is there only WCM5 loco or the whole series of wcm engines. i heard that those locos are sided even at kalyan loco shed, is it true.

[vb642]

[vb642]

@abhaymohi It's really great to hear from someone who hails from a railway family. I am glad that you enjoyed my video! May I ask where you are from and what do you do?

WDS Shunter in a hurry to shunt Pragati Rake......too good sir

[vb642]

@farhaans "in a hurry..." liked how you phrased it :-) Thanks!

[TheIndianRailways]

Nice one. Huge body of WCM2. WCM2 Looks Gorgeous and even WCG2

[vb642]

@TheIndianRailways Thanks! I loved the WCGs, since they reminded me of the WAM4s due to a similar shell structure.

[vaas44]

The front windows in WCM2 seem too high for the driver line of sight.

[vb642]

@vaas44 My thoughts exactly! Visibility doesn't seem to be that great compared to, say, a WAM4.
