26th anniversary, though these have arrived on unknown dates ranging from October 1988 to December 1988.
The snaps were taken by me:
1:- WAG-6B MUED, shot taken at Simhachalam North, accompanied by my close friend n IRFCA Veteran Jyothish Kd, dated Jan 2014.
2:- WAG-6A twins, shot taken at Simhachalam North, accompanied with Amarnadh, close friend n also the silent Admin of IRI, back in 2012, on the special Mission WAG-6 Hunt.
When they arrived, the babies aka WAP-5/WAG-9 were still under production back in Adtranz.
Til 97's, they have topped IR with the highest horse power, but soon the descendants took over, but these hunks did their work silently, faced lot of issues, as IR wasn't ready to handle a technology which is much advanced in those periods.
Only 15 of them are active, n still work silently in the hearts of Dandakarnya Forest region.
Happy 26 Yrs, Long live Fellas!!
