So far the only 5000HP diesel loco in India (WDG5) belongs to Sabarmati
5) The only WAP6 (Modified WAP4 project of IR which malfunctioned) belongs to Asansol
6) The original ABB- made 3-phase locos (WAP5) now belong to Vadodara and Ghaziabad
7) Howrah is the only major station in India which has a loco shed
8) Bardhaman is the only loco shed in India whose loco hauls International train- Maitree Express (As currently Samjhuta and Thar are not allowed to cross the border)
9) Even though the project uni-gauge completes, GOC still will house some YDMs(Meter gauge loco) for Mettupalayam-Udgamandalam railway (Nilagiri). Surprisingly, GOC is almost 400KM away from Nilagiri Railway.
10) Only one loco manufacturing place has it's own shed- Jhansi (BHEL locos are produced here)
Thanks for reading. Please correct me if I have done any mistake. Further information are invited.
