WCAG 1

There is only one locomotive in WCAG Series, WCAG 1. The WCAG1 is the last class of locomotives to work on any kind of external Direct Current (DC) traction. They are in essence the same WCAM3 only differing in gearing ratio (65:16) and some other details aimed at delivering more torque for freight operations at the expense of speed. They replaced the aging WCG2 fleet, relegating them to shunting and banking duties and also eliminated random freight-hauling diesels around Mumbai division. They have all the features of the WCAM3 including dimensions, looks, bogies, traction motors and electricals but weigh 128 tonnes as opposed 113t of the WCAM3. All are homed at Kalyan and are still in service. Their production started in the year of 1999 and ended in 2000. 11 units were manufactured in this time period. They had a max speed of 100 kmph in both DC & AC Traction.
