Is anybody has such experience?
I experienced the jerk it happens when alco changes the notch, first alco chugs to depart station and then chugging stops a forward jerk and suddenly after this a backward then chugging again starts
I have travelled in brindavan which is cbc rake i can feel only a single jerk in it

This jerks also happens in emu's and my jerk was forward as Soon a backward jerk
Sir, how does connecting the traction motors in series/parallel/mixed configuration affect the traction or running of loco ? Like WAM-4 & WAG-5 had variants with traction motors connected in series as well as parallel.
Different motor configurations have different advantages. Also, note that this is exclusive to the WDM2 series locos. None of the other locos in IR have this 'jerky' behaviour.
Using a series-parallel combination at the beginning provides better torque, so that heavier loads can be started smoothly. But the motors will run slower.
As the train picks up speed, the need for torque is...

The feeling is exactly like when a gear is changed in the car, and I have experienced these kind of jerks only in ALCOs. There are many types of jerks said in different comments, but I am sure I understand that feeling of what what you are explaining and is going over my mind completely. 😝
So is that the reason sir why during the transition period,ALCo's chugging stops for a second and starts again as the fuel supply is stopped for that moment?
