The cream and blue locomotive engine that was once a common sight on the railway tracks across the mountain ranges of Mumbai-Pune and Igatpuri inclines, this week made its final trip to Mumbai, this time by road, and as an exhibit on permanent display.
One of the last Direct Current-powered electric engines of the WCG-2 class, the locomotive was formally withdrawn from service in 2010. The engine was brought mounted on a trailer truck all the way from Kalyan Electric Loco Shed on Wednesday. Towards the end of its tenure, the engine also hauled a few local trains in Mumbai during the motormen's strike.
