Sir need the biography of wag7bhel locomotive

[@prasannask2684]

My one peeve is, Indian railways hasn't invested in loco reversers at major locations which could reversed the loco so that loco would run with front cab /short hood ahead. Many times accidents have happened due to misjudgement and miscalculations done due to loco being driven with long hood ahead.

[@TheTrainStory]

You mean “railway turntable”. In the age of steam, IR had railway turntables. In fact they were quite common. The advent of diesel and electrics reduced IR’ need for turntables and have been phased out.

Sir which traction motors used in emd Alstom or hitachi

[@TheTrainStory]

That’s a good question… I never thought to research this. Will chek this out. But since EMD and GE are established locomotive manufacturers, I am assuming they must be building their own traction motors

[@kasishkumar7935]

wdg4 is very power ful locomotive

[@TheTrainStory]

Yes it is…

[@dude.462]

Long hood forward is the main problem for locopilots 🙏🏻

[@TheTrainStory]

The EMDs were designed for MU’d operations where the long hood forward would never have come into play. In India where the locos are used as single units, the LHF visibility became a problem. IR has addressed this by adding cabs at both ends…In Europe, where single units are prevalent, EMD supplied twin cab units…

Really good explanation of these locomotives, I learned quite a lot from this! What really interested me was the early EMD competitor with ALCO being preserved at the National Railway Museum, and the issues of running such a long locomotive with the long hood forward - EMD makes locos like that for use here in the states, where it is common to see two or three leading a train, but it definitely makes sense why some of the WDP4s had the second cab added. Good motion graphics as well!

Yes the long hoods can be a hassle here in India because at least in the case of passenger trains, locomotive are not assigned in Multiple Unit configuration.
