Indian Railways diesel locomotive WDM2S No. 17522. Based in
Ludhiana, marked "Only fit for shunting service". This is the
most numerous diesel locomotive of India with more than 2700
units built since 1962, the first came directly from Alco
(type DL560C). EMD locomotives were also imported and tested
but only Alco offered a transfer of technology agreement, so
this type was chosen for mass production at the newly set up
Diesel Locomotive Works in Varanasi. Some, like the locomotive
shown, are dedicated shunters.
