![]() ![]() As Explained in a previous post, it is the difference in weight and Gear Ratios that separate locomotives into passenger and freight hauling types. It is interesting that this split for diesels happened only in 1995 through there were dedicated passenger locomotives for electric traction since 1963 (WAG1) and since 1980 (WAP1) for passenger. This resulted in a new set of two different types of locomotive, one each for passenger (WDP) and goods (WDG). It took four decades after running around with the “mixed” WDM series that the Indian Railways finally thought that it would be a good idea to come out with separate dedicated specialized diesel locomotives (engines) for passenger and freight services.
