info about WAM-1
----------
Early 2800 hp SNCF design for 25kV AC, with ignitron rectifiers. Introduced in 1959, they were mostly deployed by ER in the Howrah-Asansol-Dhanbad-Mughalsarai section. They were less frequently found 'upstream' in the Delhi-Kanpur-Mughalsarai section, and in the Igatpuri-Bhusaval section of the Central Railway. Mostly used for non-express passenger trains, but some were used double-headed for freight service. Some were still [12/98] in operation on ER (Sealdah-Lalgola passenger, etc.).

WAM-1's are significant in the history of electric traction in India as they were among the first AC electrics to run in India. Like the WAG-1's, some of their advanced features turned out to be unsuitable for Indian conditions.

Its not possible dat Lalgola were once pulled by WAM 1... The reason is that Krishna Nagar City Junction- Lalgola stretch was electrified just 4-5 years ago... Before dat, all Sealdah- Lalgola Passengers were hauled by WDM's, mostly WDM-2.
