Best of Indian Railways Diesel Locomotive – The WDM ALCO Series Classic Compilation
WDM-3A / WDM–2C
(Old class name WDM-2C,
new class name WDM-3A.)

These 3100hp locos are more powerful versions of the WDM-2.
The first one was delivered on August 22, 1994.
A single WDM-2C could haul a 21-coach passenger train,
something that required two of the older WDM-2's.
The WDM-2C / WDM-3A also has a rated top speed of 120km/h,
and has the same power-pack as the WDG-2 and WDP-2 locos.

Early units were air-braked but lately many have been provided dual-braking capability.
Dynamic brakes are also provided.
The loco has a single cab.
Gear ratio 65:18 as with the WDM-2.

All recent units have a square profile, but a few early versions have a rounded appearance.
Starting in [11/02], even higher powered units (3300hp) have been turned out by DLW, Varanasi,
and DCW (DMW), Patiala –

-all recent WDM-3A are of 3300hp power rating.
DLW has also experimented with improvements to the Alco 251 power pack to extract 3900hp out of it,
and this is being [4/02] tested in a few locomotives.
The new class name for these is WDM-3A.
