Classication of Locomotives

W Indian broad gauge (the W Stands for Wide

In India, locomotives are classied according to their

and their power or model number. The class name in Z narrow gauge(2 ft 6 in)
cludes this information about the locomotive. It comprises 4 or 5 letters. The rst letter denotes the track

Shortly before World War II, new classes were designed;

put into place to start manufacturing locomotives in India.
The new classes were:
