WCM 1 First electric locomotives with the now familiar Co-Co wheel arrangement to be used in India. Introduced in 1954, several were rebuilt in 1968. They were used on superfast trains such as the Indrayani Exp. and the Deccan Queen (?) until quite recently (the 1990's). They were rarely used for freight.
