| ![]() Here are some miscellaneous pictures of the Indian Railway Locos that I have taken till date. Because of the harsh outer conditions, its difficult to get a good shot so some amount of fixing is done(or a lot for some pictures): A pair of WAG7 locos in Bangarpet Junction: ![]() WDM twins accelerating or rather smoking across Baiyyapanahalli. Where emissions and particulate filters do not stand ![]() ![]() WAP4 that is hauling the long Brindavan Express to Chennai: ![]() A pair of WDP-4 locos, currently the fastest diesel loco in IR heading towards shed: ![]() The monster WAP7 hauling Brindavan express towards Bangalore: ![]() |

| ![]() I still can't realise how I termed the DP4 as twins. Probably the most ignorant mistake I have ever done! Sorry for that! If you stay close by then we can meet sometime near BYPL. |

Sure we will meet up sometime. There are a couple more locations after whitefield where you can catch some high speed action. | |

| ![]() I had stayed for a couple of hours on the platform of malur some days back. Was able to witness the Brindavan up as well as down ripping apart the tracks. However, most of the other trains were not so fast ![]() |

IF you want diesel action, then Maklidurga is quite a famous spot. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I see a lot of terms describing goods wagons. Can anyone explain these names? For example in the video posted a few posts back, BCNA wagons are shown. In other videos, pics (from IRFCA & other sources), I have heard about BOXN rakes and couple of other terms. Are there any abbreviations for these terms? |

Hi Addyhemmige, BONX and BCNA are the codes used for classifying freight cars. Code for BOXN stands for B= bogie or bogie wagon, O= Open wagon, X= High sided, N= Air braked. Here is how a BOXN freight car looks like ![]() Where as BCNA or BCN/A is a variant of BCN design and the abbreviation is B=bogie or bogie wagon, C= covered and N= air braked (A, here I believe is used to identify the variant instead of a feature). Here is how a BCNA freight car looks like. ![]() I hope this helps ![]() (Irfca.com is the source of above information) Regards Punzabi |

Its mainly WAP4 for the regular superfast trains. Also whenever I saw WDM twins hauling a passenger train, I use be transported back in time looking at KK/TN/GT/AP/KL expresses ripping through Central India. Over the last two decades I have grown seeing that section, getting electrified and double tracked ! Long cherished memories. It was only KL which used go around Vijaywada during day time. Others (TN/GT) always went though at night. Last edited by ampere : 27th July 2012 at 10:37. | |

However, to and fro to Mysore the duty is done by WDP4 or very rarely WDG3A. Quote:
By the way, I wish the Karnataka Express should get the KJM shed WDP4/WDP4B soon. KJM and UBL has quite a few WDP4 and WDP4Bs doing duty. | ||

I think more than electrification they should double track it first. Then they can electrify the common set-up. |
