Indian locomotive class WT

Steam and Early Locomotives

The Indian locomotive class WT was a class of 2-8-4T heavy tank locomotives used on broad gauge lines in India from 1960, built to operate local trains in the Eastern Railway zone on the Howrah to Burdwan main line. Thirty were designed in India and built by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works at Chittaranjan in West Bengal: ten in 1959 and 1960, numbered 14000 to 14009, and twenty in 1965 to 1967, numbered 14010 to 14029. The first WT rolled out of the works in March 1959 and was named Chittaranjan. The article places the class among scrapped locomotives.
