[vb642]

@lalitpv07 Very nice! I am sure you must have loved those journeys!

[boisenpaul1]

In India everything is available but the corrupt politians

[vb642]

@boisenpaul1 Now what's the need to bring politics into this nice video? Just enjoy and move on....

[sesmx]

Dear Sir,

I want to be in WAP-7 only for one time. Is it possible?????

[vb642]

@sesmx I think it would depend on whether you know a high ranking IR official.

[stunnedasmearse]

Fantastic video, fascinating area to be in.

[vb642]

@stunnedasmearse Thanks!

[souvikm16]

awesome vid man! superb!

[vb642]

@souvikm16 Thanks a lot!

[rapidfire1991]

no its wdm2

[harshu6991]

Nothing better than riding the cab of an ALCO and enjoying some pure diesel muscle unlike WDP4 which just whines away.

[vb642]

@harshu6991 True! Nothing can beat ALCO sounds!

[bharath94ir]

Nice Video!!! How did u manage to get a cab ride?

[vb642]

@bharath94ir Thanks! I befriended a senior RPF official during that trip and he was able to get me permission for the ride.

[arzan1980]

Excellent.

[vb642]

@arzan1980 Thanks, Arzan!

[maximus9600]

the best part is when he accelerates..........chanceles­s

[vb642]

@maximus9600 True!  You get to hear classic ALCO sounds!

[CHR652]

WOw!

luck you were able to travell in a WDM-2!

[vb642]

@CHR652 I agree! It was fun traveling in it!

[bhushan80]

Another gr8 video from ur self and I liked this one as well. I thought that it would be noisier than what it sounds in the video...instead it is same as any other loco. May be because the sound makers like blowers, exhausts and like wise are far away in the longer hoods far end. On single line section, it is really a fun to watch the signals facing in opposite directions!

[vb642]

@bhushan80 Thanks!  I have always felt that the WDM2 cab is quieter than the WAM4/WAP4.

[trainmaster500]

@vb642 really, quieter than a wap4? I always thought diesels were noisier than electrics

[vb642]

@trainmaster500 I believe the WAM4 cab is nosier than the WAP4.

[farhaans]

Nice Video.......i have only experienced driving these WDM2 Diesel Locos in MSTS - Indian Railways. Practically in the loco itself would have been a lifetime experience......i really liked in between, when the Driver gave throttle, you immediately took your cam towards the Smoke.....good job buddy....Thanks for sharing a masterpiece

[vb642]

Glad you liked it -)

[sanjayd411]

I envy you! :) What an experience this must have been. A terrific video for all of us to enjoy indeed. Many thanks!

[vb642]

It was an enjoyable experience, indeed! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[rajnikantsharma]

Excellent! Great pic quality!

Standing space for the engineer/motorman looks cramped and the front window size is outrageous. Are they on their feet all the time?

These guys really work under difficult conditions despite all the brouhaha that the Ministers make about IR profitability. We need more driver-friendly locos.

Thanks!

[vb642]

No, they have seats, Thank God! Visibility is certainly not the best, especially when the loco is Long Hood Leading, hence, speed is restricted to 100 kmph. (for that orientation)

[angad005]

u r very lucky to get chance of footplating the diesel engine plz tell how do u do this, plz tell me. i also want this.

[vb642]

It just happened that I befriended a senior RPF official on that trip and was able to get permission through him.

[deepakeapen78]

Hats off to you Vb642. I just love locomotives.

[vb642]

Thanks!

[sonofthedestroyer]

Looks fun!

[vb642]

It sure was a lot of fun!

[sonofthedestroyer]

What is the maximum speed such an engine can reach on its own (pulling no carriages or only less than 10)?

[vb642]

The maximum speed is 120 kmph.

[chikoky120]

it same like malaysia train engine...

I know that engine from India...can you give more video about loco train ride

[chikoky120]

very nice

[vb642]

Thanks!

[TheMasterMind007]

Can you post other loco cab vids ? Especially any electric loco

[vb642]

You can check out my Mahanagri footplate videos starting at this video - oCJ03w-rX68 . Also my Bokaro Shatabdi footplate videos starting here - dhhB-ZCFLnc

[pacifica60]

great video, pleasant to watch

keep it up

[vb642]

Thanks!

[kuttyku]

Fabulous! Always wondered how its like to be on the driver's seat, and this video is very apt. The look and feel from inside the cab is too cool...Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Keep posting more. Cheers!

[vb642]

Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[vb642]

I happened to befriend a senior RPF official on the train. He was able to get me the ride by requesting the driver to allow me in.

[MadFlyer]

Fabulous! Such clarity too. Thanks so much for sharing the office of my favorite loco. xD

Cheers mate.

[vb642]

Thanks, mate :-)
