This was hauled by WDM-1 in its earlier days, when WDM-1 was shipped to Waltair Shed.
Later few of the units were given to Bondamunda, Patratu and finally rested in Gonda shed.
The last Loco did its shunting work at Gonda n finally retired. 1 or 2 were actually preserved, while the rest had to die.

WDM-1's were imported around 1956/1959, the same time, when IR ordered GM EMD to get some machines.
It was after 1957's, SER's first train ran with these single Cab.
Later, it was seen hauling passenger trains til its last breath.
