The longest series up to date going on. Next is WDG 5 (Bheem). This is Indian Railways’ latest attempt at high powered diesel locomotives and is currently the most powerful diesel locomotive in India. This very, very long locomotive was was derived from the American locomotive EMD SD80MAC and was developed fully in India jointly by EMD and RDSO for Indian Railways. The locomotive is crammed with high-tech features and also includes an air-conditioned cabin with a fully digital control stand and a toilet for the loco pilots. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. The biggest problems was the design of the LHF end which is worse than that of the WDG/P4 and has come in for much criticism. The WDG5 is supposedly still under testing as it apparently has a lot of ride and performance problems and of course visibility problems. They were only 4 units produced in the year of 2012.
