The old school legends! The first badass WAG 6A of Indian Railways with the number #26000, all fixed up and chillin' at its home base in ELS Vishakapatnam. The other loco in line is the WAG 6B #26010, also marked for preservation. These bad boys were rated at a kickass 6000 HP. They made six of 'em (26000-26005) between December 1987 and January 1988. These locos had a Bo-Bo-Bo arrangement and were controlled by some fancy thyristors. They spent most of their lives kickin' it on the Kirandul - Kottavalasa line. Here's an interesting story for ya: the first unit, "26000," was delivered by ASEA in December 1987. The rest of 'em, 26001-005, were delivered by ABB in January 1988 after the merger. Get this: General Swedish Electrical Limited Company (also known as Allmanna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget, but ain't nobody got time for that) merged with Brown Boveri on January 1, 1988. Their love child was ABB (that's Asean Brown Boveri, in case you didn't know).

The Retired Legends !

Sabse pehla WAG 6A ka engine Indian Railways ka #26000 hai, jo ab bachaye jane ke liye apne home shed, ELS Vishakapatnam mein hai. Line mein dusra loco hai Hitachi ka banaya hua WAG 6B #26010, jo bhi preservation ke liye earmarked hai.

Yeh engine 6000 HP tak ki rating hai, aur inki 6 units (26000-26005) December 1987 se January 1988 tak banaye gaye aur deliver kiye gaye the. Yeh engines Bo-Bo-Bo wheel arrangement ke the aur thyristors se control hote the. In engines ne mostly apni poori service life mein Kirandul - Kottavalasa line mein service ki hai.

Dilchaspi ki baat yeh hai ki sabse pehli unit "26000" December 1987 mein ASEA dwara deliver ki gayi thi aur baaki 5 units 26001-005 January 1988 mein ABB dwara deliver ki gayi thi merger ke baad.

General Swedish Electrical Limited Company ya Allmanna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget (ASEA) Swedish mein baad mein 1st January 1988 ko Brown Boveri ke saath merge hui aur ABB (Asean Brown Boveri) ban gayi.
