The previous WDS-4 class was underpowered for this kind of operation. [1] They were manufactured by BLW varanasi using the kits provided by ALCO. [2] The WDS-5 can easily be recognized by their shot nose and flat-ended cab at one end. [3] Some were sold and transferred to industrial concerns and public sectors, but have IR road numbers on them. [4]

These came with 74 in (1,880 mm) diameter drivers and 310 psi (2.1 MPa) boiler pressure, making these ATSF 2-10-4 s the fastest and most modern of all. Of the original order of ten, five were oil-burning and five coal-burning, but when Santa Fe ordered 25 more for delivery in 1944, all were delivered equipped to burn oil.
The WDS Data Sharing Principles [13] [14] are in line with the data policies of national and international initiatives, including those of the Group on Earth Observations, the G8 Science Ministers’ Statement and Open Data Charter, the OECD Principles and Guidelines for Access to Research Data from Public Funding, as well as the Science ...
A WDS-6 locomotive basically consists of a YDM-4 powerpack (a 6-cylinder, 4-stroke, inline, turbo-supercharged ALCo engine) mounted on a WDM-2 body frame. Beginning in 1975, these were initially manufactured solely by BLW, Varanasi , but later, the Parel Workshop started building them using CKD (completely-knocked-down) kits provided by DLW.
The ALCO DL560C is a series of diesel–electric locomotive with AC electric transmission designed by the American Locomotive Company and produced under license by Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW) Varanasi, India for Indian Railways as their classes WDM-2, WDM-3A/2C, WDM-3D and WDG-3A for operation in India.
