Indian locomotive class WCM-1

The Indian locomotive class WCM-1 was a small class of seven 1.5 kV DC electric locomotives that English Electric and Vulcan Foundry built in England in 1954 and 1955 for Indian Railways, which first knew them as the EM/1 class. They were the first mixed-traffic electric locomotives on Indian Railways and the first there with a Co-Co wheel arrangement, ordered to replace the ageing WCP-class electrics on the Central Railway. They entered service in 1955 and worked express trains such as the Deccan Queen and the Indrayani Express as well as freight, until repeated failures led to their withdrawal by the early 2000s. One locomotive has been preserved and the rest were scrapped.
