Re# 1602988-19              
Yes. These were very under-powered too. And sadly they never saw mainline action. Only being used for shunting short freight rakes between MSB and Tambaram and were used only for one suburban service. YCG1 was also unique in that it could be operated for short distances on non-electrified sections when attached to a battery van that also came with the loco.
