Gentlemen, you're looking at one of the most rare, yet fastest alco 🚂locomotive of Indian Railways. WDP 3 aka The 'Toaster' Wondering why it's called toatser? The reason why they're called toaster and why they were discontinued very soon, is same. After working for hours the cab 2 of this locomotive used to get too heated and during summers the loco pilots get almost toasted. This is the Railway employees Started calling it 'Toaster' But mind you, this Locomotive made the history. Our current fastest train is Gatiman Express with a top speed of whopping 160 km/h. This Locomotive which was made in 1990s was capable of pulling a train at 160 km/h. That's a different thing we didn't have train rakes to run at that speed and neither we had tracks to support that speed. If we look at present they have almost disappeared. There was a time when they used to haul India's longest running Rajdhani Trivandrum Rajdhani. There was a time they used to haul India's first Tejas Express but now they are doing the shunting work in CR region. But, here in our NR they're still used for hauling few passenger trains.
