The Indian locomotive class WCAM-1 was a class of dual-voltage electric locomotives, working from 25 kV AC or 1.5 kV DC, developed in 1973 by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works for Indian Railways. The class name reads broad gauge (W), direct current (C), alternating current (A), mixed traffic (M), first generation (1). They entered service in March 1973 and 53 were built between 1973 and 1979, the most numerous class of mainline dual-power AC and DC electric locomotive. The article calls them a bi-current version of the WAM-4, one of the most successful locomotives of Indian Railways, in passenger and freight service for over 40 years until 2015, and says all have been scrapped with none preserved.
