रेलफैनों की तो बात ही कुछ और है

WDM2's were produced till 1998. So, many of them are still very young by locomotive standards! WAM4's production stopped in the early 80's, so most of them are close to their design lifetime of 40 years. However, in some cases WAM4's are being scrapped to make space to add newer locos to the sheds even if they are in appreciable condition. Once the locos complete their codal life ( currently revised to 35 years from 40 years earlier), it is up to the shed's decision to keep the loco running.

Those Wdm2 jo apni age limit puri kar chuke hai ya retire hone waale hai unka use ab shunting me ho rha hai and these Wdm2 are called Wdm2S.Retire hone waale Wam4 ka bhi use shunting me ho sakta hai like Wam4s.

WAM4 locos will be remembered in future. Their contribution cannot be forgotten. First Indian-made loco (designed and built) that was highly successful.
As the years passed, IR wanted separate locos for passenger services and freights and so, WAP1 and WAG5 were built.
